I’ve worked with Sam Gowing for many years on both sides of the camera, she has worked with Brookfarm to create delicious recipes from our products that have helped us achieve great success in marketing our products and brand to consumers.
Sam is one of those unique people who is able to communicate in a way that builds trust and connection with the audience. She is an extraordinarily talented Chef but her credentials around wholefood recipes and creating delicious meals for a healthier lifestyle sets her apart.
Her skills in recipe development make foods and brands accessible that consumers may not know how to include in their everyday life. Her recipes are easy to follow and delicious.
Unlike many in the health food space today she is the real thing. Her training in nutrition and gastronomy set her apart and when she talks she brings a world of knowledge and skill to the table with powerful effective communication skills
What consumers and the food world need right now is authenticity and Sam does that through her cooking, communication , culinary and nutrition skills.
