Hi Everyone! My name is Emily Gantt and I'm so excited to be the lead instructor for all of the Culinary Camps from Chef Alyssa's Kitchen. I was born and raised in Rock Hill, SC and graduated culinary school from the Art Institute (same school Chef Alyssa went to!) in 2014. While at Art Institute I was the Salutatorian for my graduation class and won the Culinary Showcase. After graduation, I began working for Boar's Head. In my spare time I am a passionate cake maker and decorator.  In 2015, I began working part-time for Chef Alyssa's Kitchen and transitioned to full-time in 2016. I've led all of our kids culinary camps and classes. In 2017, my sweet potato themed dish was part of Sous Terrian featuring sous chefs in Charlotte.  It has always been a dream of mine to inspire others to follow their passion and I am so excited for the opportunity to teach at Chef Alyssa's Kitchen. I love children and looking forward to a great class!
