Samu, a word from Buddism, refers to the practice of mindfulness in everyday activity, such as cooking. This is not only a way to cope with the adversities of life, but also to create a spirit of generosity in the community.
This fits in with the aspirations of Samu Kitchen as I hope to share with others a kinder and more sustainable way of eating.
​
At Samu, food provenance is very important as well as reducing food miles, food waste and creating more sustainable ways of growing, cooking and eating. Nutrition is a core part of Samu's aim and honouring the powerful effect of food on the body and mind. My mission from the start was to celebrate exciting life-giving food that would be good for the body as well as creating a community driving towards food security, health and to help everyone access healthy food.
I have worked in the catering industry for 20 years and have thrived on working around people and food. I love feeding people and work very closely with clients to create bespoke events exactly as they envision. Whether catering at a festival, wedding, retreat or feeding family and friends to same love and attention goes into every event.
