About Us

Hello! I’m Emily 

I’m a child of the 90s with big specs and an even bigger vision. My love for food started young .... at just 14, I was already helping out in the festa kitchen at a snack bar in my village square. That summer job, which I begged to be given, sparked the passion that still drives me today. 

My culinary journey took me from the local culinary school (ITS) in Malta to kitchens in Spain, London, and eventually back home. After having my son, Oliver, I stepped away from catering and spent five years in Finance while studying ACCA. That time gave me valuable business knowledge and confidence , lessons I still use every day.

When Covid hit, I began sharing recipes and daily kitchen life on Instagram, which quickly grew into a little community and gave me the courage to take the plunge. In 2021, I officially started self-employment and began catering under Eats by Emily.

As the demand grew, so did the dream: in June 2023, we opened our own production kitchen, giving us the space and tools to take things further. And just a year later, in June 2024, we opened Il-Kċejna to the public ... a small open-kitchen bakery in the heart of Ħ’Attard, where people can grab a coffee, enjoy fresh pies and croissants, and feel right at home.

What We Do Today 🍴

Corporate Catering & Office Breakfasts
From flaky croissants to wholesome spreads, we work with businesses to fuel their teams , whether it’s a one-off breakfast or a long-term partnership.

Bakery & Il-Kċejna
Our little bakery is the soul of what we do. Open early in the mornings, it’s a place for grab-and-go goodness or a friendly coffee. None of this would be possible without my fantastic team, who put their passion into every bake and every smile.

Seasonal Specials & Creative Bakes
From autumn pumpkin pies to festive Christmas goodies, I love keeping things exciting and creative all year round.

Food has always been more than just food to me,  it’s comfort, connection, and joy. I’m so proud of how far this journey has come, and grateful to share it every day with my wonderful team and loyal customers.

If you’d like to chat about catering, place an order, or simply say hi, you can reach me at emily@eatsbyemily.mt or come find me on Instagram (where the fun never stops!).

Always grateful & always cooking,
Em xx
