Meet Chef Emma

Hi, I'm Emma.

I'm a chef and food writer, and Captured Bite is how I bring a restaurant-quality dinner to your own table. I trained at Le Cordon Bleu Paris and Johnson & Wales, and cooked in a Michelin-starred kitchen before starting Captured Bite in 2015, when I began cooking school.

My cooking comes from my Armenian heritage and from living abroaf in Armenia, France, Norway, and Turkey. I currently working on a food research book across Turkey, Armenia e. You'll taste French technique, Italian generosity, and the spices and stories of the Armenian and Turkish table, alongside dishes from India, Vietnam and Japan.

I've cooked about 70 dinners and events, from candlelit dinners for two to a 43-guest rehearsal dinner. I split my time between Tulsa and Cape Cod, and I'll travel for a vacation week anywhere your passport goes.

The Philosophy

Artistry in Every Detail

Every engagement is thoughtfully conceived around hyper-seasonal terroir, scratch preparations, and effortless private service.

Handmade Craft

Seamless Hospitality

Ingredients procured directly from regional biodynamic farms and morning coastal harvests, highlighting peak flavor in every course.

From hand-rolled pastas and 48-hour clarified broths to cultured table butter, every element is crafted from the ground up.

Gracious, discrete table side service that allows hosts to sit back and savor an extraordinary evening alongside their guests.
