Emery Lane

Hi, I’m Emery – a culinary explorer with a love for bold flavors and unfussy meals.

I was born and raised in Japan, where food is more than just nourishment—it’s an experience. The colors, the textures, the quiet rituals of cooking and sharing a meal… those early memories shaped how I see food today.

Now living far from home, I bring that same heart into everything I create—merging the bold, vibrant flavors I grew up with and pairing them with everyday ingredients you already have in your kitchen. My goal? To make home cooking effortless, exciting, and full of flavor, even on the busiest nights.

I’m incredibly grateful to be part of the iheartnapetime team. Ashley has built such a thoughtful, inspiring space for food lovers of all kinds, and I’m proud to share my recipes here alongside so many creative voices.

When I’m not testing new ideas or scribbling recipe notes in the margins of old cookbooks, you’ll find me walking local markets, sipping tea, or FaceTiming my mom to talk about what she’s cooking today.

Let’s keep it easy, adventurous, and always delicious.
