MEET EMMA
Our chef!
My name is Emma Bobby, and I am a qualified chef with over 19 years of experience. I am a passionate foodie and advocate for a healthy lifestyle and this is reflected in all I do.
In 2020, thanks to the recent pandemic, I started to re-think my passion for food and teaching others which led to the creation of Sticky Fingers Kitchen.
My inspiration for founding Sticky Fingers Kitchen was to offer a safe space for all individuals regardless of circumstances and backgrounds, the ability to learn a life skill we all need. To learn how to cook.
I grew up in Sweden and I am a proud citizen of both Australia & Sweden. I cherish my influences and families from both continents and this is reflected in my cooking.I grew up cooking as a family and spending hours at the dinner table grazing, talking & establishing a healthy relationship with food. I have now adopted the same values with my own family. We live as close to nature as possible on acreage in rural Darwin, growing some of our own produce.
Sticky Fingers Kitchen is an exciting opportunity for me to share my food discoveries, my passions and my joy for teaching and cooking with you.
During my teaching, I will share all that I have found & learned over the years of traveling the world and all I continue to discover on a daily basis throughout my cooking journey.

“My son did the holiday cooking class with Emma and her team on Tuesday 6th October. He had an awesome time and wouldn't stop talking about what they cooked. He got given a chef's hat and printed copies of the recipes and has carried them around everywhere since, even took them to bed hehe!! Thanks, Emma and the other 2 lovely ladies who were there helping (can't remember their names sorry) for making his class such a memorable experience!! He can't wait to do the weekly classes with you all soon. “
