Sam White
Researcher
You can’t get Sam out of good restaurants, or a kitchen; she just loves fine dining. We think it comes from working too long for the likes of Harrods, Fortnum & Mason and Coworth Park – not that we’re complaining, because what Sam doesn’t know about fine dining, it’s not worth knowing!
