Since I was a kid, I loved spending time in banquet hall kitchens; I was mesmerized by the churning of giant vats of sugo, bubbling away, poised to feed thousands at a time. I constantly strived to absorb as much food knowledge as possible. After spending time in exploring European and Asian cuisine I moved to New York City to study at the International Culinary Center. I gravitated towards the Farm to Table program where I took my education to the field – literally – cultivating the ties between agriculture, cuisine, and sustainability, and working with the chefs from the 2 Michelin starred restaurant on the property.
It was an experience that shaped my entire philosophy as a cook. I’ve continued to feed my culinary curiosity by working in food styling, as a boutique caterer and as a pastry chef.
I’ve been blessed to spend my lifetime learning about food, and nothing makes me happier than sharing my experiences, knowledge, and meals with as many people as I can. I’ll never be done learning, nor will my appetite ever be satisfied. Am I a chef? Nope. I'm just Emma.
Mark’s wife Ana often grills boneless and skinless chicken breasts for their daughter Victoria. But Ana always makes sure to grill extra so she can also enjoy a dish that includes Bove's Vodka Tomato Sauce.
When Uncle Babe wasn’t handing out little plastic monkeys to all the kids who came into the café, he would be out back sautéing onions and peppers for his famous grilled chicken parm. He was a big fan of this dish and so excited when we started bottling the sauces—mostly because it meant that he could have his chicken parm on Sundays or Mondays when the restaurant was closed!
Nonna Victoria was the matriarch of the Bove’s family. She grew all of her fresh ingredients right behind what would eventually become Bove’s Café. Little did she know that one day her deep dish lasagna would go on to be famous—appearing on the Food Network’s Throwdown! with Bobby Flay! This one is it, the real homemade deal.
