“It was such a thrill to cook with Samantha and her team, the format and menu complemented the theme of our 3 day event so well and provided my guests with a great, nourishing lunch and educational experience. The client who had travelled internationally was so impressed by the execution that he is looking for a way to deliver the same format across his other international events. From the bump in process, everything was seamless and was beautifully displayed”

Private Tuition
I had the absolute pleasure of attending my first cooking class with the lovely Chef Sam Gowing. A few years back I never would have dreamt that I would be so lucky to be working with such amazing people and discovering my passion for food. There was a week back in 2016 where I made up a bunch of fried rice and that’s all I ate for a whole week. Like we’re talking breakfast, lunch and dinnerI had no idea about cooking (clearly) and wasn’t interested in learning about what I was putting into my body. Fast forward 3 years and I’ve got the privilege of learning from the best.

What They Say …
Since leaving MasterChef Australia last year, I have been looking for ways to expand my food knowledge, particularly around ingredients and nutrition, there are so many claims out there and when your passion is feeding people, you want to make sure you’re getting it right, there was so much more I wanted and needed to know.
Along came Chef Sam Gowing. I had been searching for the right course, for the right teacher – I wanted someone with a great deal of experience, I wanted to be taught by a chef, and I wanted to be taught by a chef with a strong interest in nutrition, I couldn’t quite believe it when I found Sam – there she was, a huge career as a chef, passionate and successful career as a teacher and…. a qualified clinical nutritionist, I hit gold!
Sam’s generosity of spirit and her incredible passion for her work cannot help but shine through, she exudes enthusiasm and she has an astonishing wealth of knowledge. I gained so much from my work with Sam, it was the springboard for me to continue learning and she gave me such encouragement to remain on my career path. I look forward to working with Sam at any opportunity in the future, she is so motivating and genuinely interested – what a find. Mandy Hall – MasterChef 2019
