Meet Emily Ellyn, a chef and culinary educator seen on Food Network’s “Food Network Star,” “Cupcake Wars,” and “Cutthroat Kitchen” — and CEO School podcast guest! Emily Ellyn is the Home Economics teacher you’ve always wanted! She’s the mother of Retro Rad cooking and encourages everyone to dig through their family recipe box, dust off their pressure cookers, and take the old and make it new. This year Emily celebrates her 5th year as the national spokesperson for Frigo® cheese and first year as the national spokesperson for Santa Monica Seafood. In between appearances and developing recipes you’ll likely find Emily at home, busy in her garden or cooking up her first book. IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL HEAR: 🎙
