My Story

I come from generations of home cooks and grew up with a mom who could make anything (at least it felt that way). So I grew up believing I could make anything too, and I never questioned it. That's what I hope to pass on to you: try new things and just go for it! If something flops, you probably learned something along the way.

I grew up in Arizona, lived in California and Oregon, and now call Hawaii home, and every place has ended up in my kitchen. Arizona gave me a love of Southwest flavors, like my Baked Chile Rellenos and Prickly Pear Margarita. Oregon taught me to pick a whole flat of Hood strawberries and bake with whatever is in season. Hawaii brings li hing mui, calamansi, and tropical fruit into just about everything.

I started building Emily Fabulous in 2019 and launched it in 2020 to share the recipes I love making at home. Most of what I cook is for my family, including my son, so my recipes are easy, crowd-pleasing, and rarely too spicy.

What You'll Find Here

Easy everyday recipes. Dinners, sides, sauces, and treats inspired by my childhood, by favorite restaurants and bars, and by things I've seen online, on TV, or in magazines. I always add my own spin, and most of my recipes are entirely my own.

Cocktails and homemade syrups. Mixing drinks is one of my favorite things. You'll find classic cocktails, fun twists, and the homemade syrups, liqueurs, and shrubs that make them special.

The Adventures of a Cocktail and a Cupcake. My signature series pairs a cocktail with a matching cupcake, like a Classic Daiquiri with Daiquiri Cupcakes or a Strawberry Gin Cocktail with Strawberry Cheesecake Cupcakes.

Island flavors. Recipes with a Hawaii twist, like Li Hing Mui Air Fryer Donuts, a Calamansi Lime Margarita, and Pineapple Popsicles.
