At Your Craft Kitchen, everything starts with Sam — a food lover with more than 25 years’ experience in the food and service industry. Having spent decades working front of house and supporting kitchens across a wide variety of businesses, Sam has seen it all and put in the hours. From helping friends with parties to organising large events, he gradually discovered how much joy catering could bring. What he noticed along the way was that so much food lacked that special homemade touch, and that’s what inspired him to build a business of his own — one focused on hearty, honest food made with care.

Sam’s cooking is a mix of formal training and hands-on learning, shaped not just by kitchens he’s worked in, but also by real-life experiences around the world — including learning dishes from grandmothers in far-flung countries who didn’t speak a word of English. At Your Craft Kitchen, this passion comes through in every tray of homemade lasagne and every bowl of fresh salad. For Sam, the best part of cooking is seeing people truly happy — when they’re licking their lips and saying “mmmmmm” or when his food sparks a memory of a loved one. That’s when he knows he’s done something right.
