Emily Boyce

bbcgoodfood.com's acting sub is a linguist, with a particular interest in the language of food...

Emily studied French and Italian at Oxford University and, while reading Dante was all well and good, it was her year abroad, spent teaching English at a secondary school in Turin, that had the most lasting influence on her and helped shape her future career. It was here that Emily abandoned her vegetarian diet to try home-reared salami, the archetypal Italian mamma taught her to cook gnocchi, and a student passed on her secret recipe for tiramisu.

Back in the UK, after graduation, Emily did work experience for various food mags and volunteered at The Soil Association, before landing the job of web assistant on bbc.co.uk/food, where she edited recipes for BBC TV programmes and met numerous famous faces while helping to co-ordinate the Saturday Kitchen webchat.

Emily joined the bbcgoodfood.com team as researcher in July 2008 and is enjoying sampling the fruits of the Good Food test kitchen, as well as handling competitions and other editorial bits and bobs.
