Chef and culinary educator Emily Ellyn is the Home Economics teacher you have always wanted! She single handedly started the Retro Rad cooking movement by encouraging everyone to dig through the recipe box belonging to their mom, dust off their pressure cookers and crock pots, and take the old and make it new. She takes the retro, remixes it, and makes it RAD. With her quirky persona and trademark cat-eye glasses, Emily currently travels the world doing cooking demos, working with brands and product endorsements, lecturing or hosting special events, and doing consulting work all while developing her Retro Rad culinary TV career and finishing her Ph.D. in Food Service Education. Through it all, Emily has gained a loyal cult following. You have seen her on Food Network, Food Network Star, Cupcake Wars and morning news shows across the country as well as a cameo cartoon appearance on the Simpsons!
