About Me

Hello! I'm Emma. I'm 19 20 21 22 23 24 25. I love to eat. I love to cook.



When I started this blog in 2009, it was a way to capture my joy at being back in a kitchen during my university holidays (in my first year we couldn't cook in term time). I quickly realised that I had a single focus: baking and desserts. Though I had a patchy first few months, I kept blogging all the way through my degree (I left Oxford University in 2011 with a degree in English Language and Literature, specialising in medieval).


The view from St Mary's tower over Oxford.

My life has always revolved around food. I was taught to cook by my mum and my late grandma, along with many cookery books. After I left university I also spent five months studying pâtisserie at Le Cordon Bleu in London (Oct 2011 - Feb 2012).

I grew up in rural Devon, in South West England, which means that I have strong opinions about scones. I also spent a lot of my childhood in the Swiss Alps. My mum moved out permanently in 2007, so I spend quite a bit of time there. It's a beautiful place (and also why the name Poires au Chocolat is in French).


A summer view over the town my mum lives in.

Poires au Chocolat is named after the Pear and Chocolate Loaf Cake that I tested back in 2009. It was the first recipe I created from scratch that gave me that dancing-around-the-kitchen eureka feeling. We also used to eat freshly chopped pears with melted chocolate poured over the top a lot when I was a child - the combination is one of my favourites.

In September 2014 I left Oxford to start the Cambridge Graduate Medicine Course. I'm loving the course but sadly it's meant that I'm no longer able to actively post on Poires. You can read a bit more about it here. I'm still baking and tweaking the recipes I've posted over the years - you can see how many times I've made each recipe on the Recipe List since I've retired by the number of stars by the link.


I hope you enjoy reading my blog! Feel free to contact me by commenting or one of the following...

I've also put together a FAQ for things like camera types etc.

PR/advertising/reviews etc
I decided a few years ago that I want this blog to be pure recipe posts. I am not a restaurant critic or a product reviewer. Every recommendation is my own - all the cookbooks I use and mention are bought by me, as are all the ingredients. If I mention a restaurant/cafe/shop, I went there of my own accord and paid. I do not accept products (for review or giveaways), press trips, classes/experiences or money for promotion. I am not linked to any companies and will never put advertising on the blog.

  15. Hi Emma! Love your blog, I'm going to be doing English at Cambridge this September and my biggest fear is being sans-kitchen. I need cooking to think!

    Today I tried out your Nutella recipe and it tasted divine! I'm just starting my own food blog and was wondering if you'd mind if I posted a link up to yours when I write about what I did with mine. Would that be cool?

    Good luck with life as a pastry chef! That sounds like an amazing ambition!

    Best

  20. Dear Emma,
    I've been trying your recipes for some time now and they've always turned out to be huge successes. You're so incredibly creative! It was only this morning that I read the 'about me' section and realised that you don't have decades of experience, as I assumed. I'm stunned! In my opinion you're already a professional pastry chef.

  21. Hi Emma,
    Love your blog, you are so incredibly talented and creative. I am a chocoholic and your cakes just make my world so much more perfect :)) ! With the snow setting in, I am sure I will look forward to more amazing stuff from you to bake for the holidays. Fair play to you for being so young and so awesome :) !

  25. Hi Emma,

    I found your blog while looking for recipes for a cake competition at work. I trialed your dark chocolate and whisky cake yesterday (without decoration) and it went down pretty well at my boyfriend's office so I think that might be the one! I'll post pictures when I make it for real with decoration - wish me luck!!

  28. Hello Emma!

    I've only just discovered your blog (I just commented on your hot cross buns) but it looks amazing!

    I'm in a similar predicament to you- I'm a 21 year old student who *loves* cooking, especially baking, but I've just started a postgraduate degree at Cambridge and the kitchen is appalling! I suspect it's better than yours (i.e. I do have a kitchen) but it's much worse than the kitchens I was used to in my undergrad.

    I'm now just going to read my way through your blog- best of luck with your future career in cooking!

  33. Hi there, I have been reading your blog on and off for ages and really love the recipes. I just read about you starting at Le Cordon Bleu - I finished my diploma there in June, so thought I'd return the cookery-love and say if you have any questions about the course please feel free to ask. I'm on FB - Lesa Ross, London.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Hello Emma,
    I stumbled by your blog purely by accident and am so intrigued and insanely jealous of your status as a student of Le Cordon Blue. I dream of quitting my American job and attend the school. Not because I want to work in the field but simply because I love cooking and creating beautiful food.

    I will be sure to follow you on Instagram and Twitter to see what delicious treats you create.

    Outside of cooking I'm a bit surprised by the other interests we have in common. Although I am American by birth and sadly, have never stepped foot on European soil, since I was a little girl I have inexplicably been drawn to Europe.
    Oddly, I told my best friend if I ever tire of the madness of American life and disappear, she can find me in Devon. I can't quite say what it is about Devon that draws me but if not France I think I could happily spend the rest of my days in Devon England.
    How strange indeed.

    Additionally, I am an avid student of English and French history. I have studies Medieval times on my own since I was a teenager; most recently devouring all I could on The War of The Roses for a novel I would like to write.

    So...you can see why I am deliriously happy to have found your blog and look forward to reading all about your studies and adventures.

  35. Hi Emma

    I also came by your blog by accident, I was looking for a recipe for Chocolate cake using coconut milk. I have never subcribed to a blog before but your recipes, photograghy and style is just beautiful! The cake was delicious and now I am happily going to dive into your other recipes and look forward to recieving my email!

    Take care happy cooking and thank you for sharing your talents with us!

  37. Hi Emma - I adore your blog. It's such a wonderful place just to sit and ponder a while. Like you, my views have changed in recent years - from the North York Moors, to Lake Geneva (across from Evian) and now to the tropical island of St Lucia (where the Hotel Chocolat plantation is located : )

    Wishing you all the best with whatever you decide to do in life - you have certainly made a most wonderful start. : )

  44. Wow; this is an incredible blog. I read about it in Delicious magazine last month, and it was the mention of the fleur de sel caramel cake that drew me to it, since I can rarely resist some salted caramel. I hadn't got round to reading it but since today is rainy and wintry and the roads are flooded and I can't get to work, I am 'working from home' and thought, as part of that, I'd have a read. Unfortunately this is now reducing my productivity: I keep following different links and thinking "Hmm, will have to make that, and that, and that", then reading some more, and so on and so forth. I'll get back to work shortly.

    The whole thing is brilliant, beautifully written and photographed and the recipes all look sublime.

    I found your blog on Saveur: Best Food Blog Awards 2012.

    I enjoyed reading every one of your posts that I read, you bring a great personality to each one. Your photography is great as well.

    I am a baking and pastry graduate so it was great to see you went to culinary school as well. Are you doing anything in that field right now? I must say you have inspired me to bake one of your childhood sweet treats.

    I really like your blog - I'm an Oxford student, as well (albeit an undergrad studying Chemistry) and just a tiny little bit obsessed with everything about cooking and baking.
    Your posts are just a joy to read - a welcome break between all the workload and numerous little tasks...

    Anyway, I hope you'll have a lovely Christmas (with as much cooking and baking as possible - after all, what is Christmas if not the smell of cinnamon, chocolate and nutmeg filling the house as soon as the oven doors open?)

    Hi Emma,
    I'm sorry I haven't been posting at all lately because my school account won't allow me to. But I still have been looking at your lovely recipes and I am hoping to bake some of them this summer. Especially the 'Dutch Baby'. I have made a similar pancake at school with my teacher and I loved it so I hope to make something like it.
    Just an idea for cooking is to make something celebrating the Royal baby that Kate and William are having. I'm sure there is a traditional recipe for such event. Anyhow, it is just an idea.

    P.S. I love your photographs on this page!

  83. Hi Emma, my friend recommended your blog to me and I'm so glad she did. I also agree with Helen that it's lovely to find British blogs by young women. I'm really impressed you decided to follow your heart and stick with the food, mine is currently being torn between architecture and baking.... Looking forward to hearing more about your cookery adventures! Katy

  96. Hi Emma, I was wondering do you have a good recipe for a whole orange cake -- like Claudia Roden's (I tried her's but it always come out way too sharp!). Also I wondered do you have a recipe for a Apricot, Raisin and Almond cake -- with all the fruit in brandy on the bottom at the cake on top? I tried it at a cafe and haven't been able to successfully create it myself. Look forward to hearing from you. Thanks!
