Melissa Jayne Kasarda, nicknamed M.J., has a love of food that started before it could be put into words. As a child she would sit on the kitchen counter watching her mother cooking and baking from scratch. Those kitchen counter experiences fueled a fascination with gourmet foods and specialty pastries from a very young age. For her third birthday, instead of asking for a doll or toy to play with, she asked for a rolling pin. Looking at that photo it’s easy to pinpoint the beginning of her remarkable culinary journey and the day she started down an extraordinary path.
Attention to detail in presentation, creation of flavors, and artistic expression, were all lessons and qualities instilled in M.J. through her early years honing her culinary skill set. She learned from and worked for gourmet delicatessens, 4 star restaurants & top international resorts that found these qualities paramount. All of these experiences have culminated in the present as Emjaye Inspired Culinary Art, a gourmet catering and handcrafted pastry production company.
