Having being fed canned soybeans and boarding school food it is no wonder that therapeutic chef Samantha Gowing embarked on a culinary journey as a child in Melbourne during the gastronomic boom of the 1970s. Developing her passion for Asian cuisine through language and travel. Samantha enjoyed a long career in hospitality in her hometown of Melbourne where she founded her unique food and health business in 1990, had regular weekly radio shows on 3AK and Kiss FM, and has run her celebrated organic cooking school in Australia, Bali and Sri Lanka ever since.
With over 25 years experience in business Samantha, formerly an award-winning restaurateur, learnt her most recent business lessons working in private practice as a therapeutic chef and clinical nutritionist, and at premiere retreats such as Gwinganna in Queensland. Samantha is in demand nationally and internationally for her organic cooking lasses, corporate cooking demonstrations, kitchen keynote seminars and public speaking.
Event highlights for 2010 include a seven-night luxury Women’s luxury surf spa retreat in Bali, guest chef for the Nourish program at Gwinganna Gold Coast, a Women’s Retreat at Gaia Retreat Byron Bay in June. In October Samantha will return to Bali to host special literary events at the Ubud Writers Festival before returning to Sri Lanka in to host a six-night organic wellness spa retreat at the stunning boutique hotel Kahanda Kanda in Galle.
Sam currently lives in Byron Bay where she enjoys the amazing surf and is delighted to be in the process of creating her dynamic spa and surf cuisine and motivational mentoring programs for private consultations, organic luxury spa retreats or corporate health incentives.
