Emma Ryan is a chef, trained at Leiths School of Food & Wine, and the founder of Yesterday’s Curry. Half Goan and half Irish, she grew up in South London surrounded by the vibrant aromas and flavours of her family’s Goan cooking - pancakes laced with cardamom, tangy kokum fish curries, and spicy smoked sausages that shaped her culinary memory.

Emma has since turned her passion into a career, running supper clubs - including events at Fortnum & Mason, corporate cookery classes, and private dining experiences. She has extensive expertise in Goan cuisine and is developing a full pantry line of authentic Goan products to bring these flavours to home kitchens.
