Emily Haworth Biography – Emily Haworth Wiki

Emily Haworth is a home cook, an advanced specialist podiatrist in the NHS and a contestant on MasterChef UK 2025. Born in Manchester, Emily grew up in Ireland and now lives in Wales. Her style of cooking has an Irish influence.

Describing her style of cooking, Emily told the BBC: “I love home grown kitchen herbs and fresh local food, grown and raised with love. There is Irish influence in all of my cooking. Without being too ‘Little House on the Prairie’ and too wholesome about it, think anything between ‘Anne of Green Gables’ to ‘Chocolat’ and ‘Amelie’ to ‘Julia Childs’ or ‘Mrs Beeton’.

“It’s vintage, budget, homely food, made with passion and emotion, grown and reared by people who care – if possible – and a homage to Ireland, with a hint of Italian. Food is getting increasingly expensive and feeding your family home-cooked food rather than ultra processed is a real challenge with money, time and advertising power.”

Emily was introduced to cooking at a very young age by her father, who died from cancer when she was in her first year at university. Speaking about her earliest cooking memory with her father, Emily said: “I have memories of standing on my dad’s toes holding his knees for dear life and being danced around the kitchen as we waited for the oven to produce the roast or the cake to rise. As I grew older, he would role-play being Head Chef and I would be his Sous.

“He was passionate about his produce, and we always had a veg garden and hens and for a while, with crazy goats for milk and cheese. Sometimes we don’t appreciate these memories as kids until older, and today these are precious to me. I hope to pass on food memories to my three children and at some stage in their lives, they will find peace and feel a connection to family through food creativity and eating.”
