Sam is a funny, intelligent and engaging teacher and avoids the po-facedpreachiness that is sometimes associated with whole and health foods. She is a woman who can make cooking with beetroot (The Beauty of the Beets) seem like the most fun you’ve ever had.”
Michael Harden, Scoop Traveller Magazine

“Entertaining,educational, relaxed and left us wanting more. Sam filled the room with laughter and a passion for food, giving our team an aromatic experience. Every biteful released a new taste sensation that was accompanied by a glass of refreshing organic wine.  
Sam’s feel good recipes are easy to replicate at home especially the Turmeric tonic which one of us found out that it was an excellent revitalization after a late night! Simple, yet deliciously scrumptious.  We will definitely be coming to see Sam again very soon. Bravo!”
