More about Sam
Encouraged to cook from a very young age, Sam spent time with his grandmother making and baking his own culinary creations. Sam (38 English) began his professional career at the Blue Ball Inn, a renowned gastro pub in the heart of Somerset. The establishment and its team went on to win numerous awards including a place in the Michelin Guide.
Sam’s love of cooking and his open inquisitive nature to embrace different cuisines led him to Paris. There he worked alongside chef Mattieu Toucas whose interest in nutrition, use of spices, herbs and pulses created vibrant, healthy dishes. The 20eme Art was a very popular spot for local Parisians.
Moving to the chic and elegant Café qui Parle, situated on the famous Rue Lepic, Montmartre, Sam spent three years working under Chef-Patron Damien Moeuf, who earned his Michelin star at the Maison Danemark on the Champs-Élysées. With a Michelin level à la cart menu the establishment attracted many renowned individuals.
After eight years of being immersed in classic french dining, Sam left the city and relocated to the South of France where he was introduced to some of the finest Gascony producers and cuisine, including the local Samatan Market: a social hub for the region and one of the most authentic markets in France. Sam was headhunted by a chateau owner and worked exclusively for the family before returning to England to start his own private, fine dining food company.
Sam’s currently working on private super yachts all over the world.
