Cooking for the family

Sam became interested in cooking and baking as a child. 

He launched his own amateur business with his brother, which was named the Twin Bakers and saw the pair selling soda bread to their neighbours. 

Although the pair stopped selling their baked goods when they got older, Sam still credits his brother for kickstarting his career. 

However, his real hero is his Granny Tess whom he has described as a “home-cook extraordinaire”.
