Sam Gates is an author, cookery teacher and member of The Guild of Food Writers. She worked as marketing director of the UK’s first food channel before starting her own company, working with clients such as BBC Food, BBC Radio and small food producers. But above all, Sam loves to cook for her family and friends, which she does at any opportunity.
Sam’s first family cookbook Food for Your Brood was followed by the popular TheTin and Traybake Cookbook, published by Robinson in 2018. Juggling family, work, life and cooking was the inspiration behind her third book, Amazon bestseller The Batch Cook Book, which was described by Guardian as ’redefining the concept of batch cooking’. The Green Batch Cook Book is Sam’s fourth book. Feeding a busy, hungry family with different tastes and wanting to include more meat-free meals into the weekly menu, she set out to create a series of budget-friendly, seasonal and make-ahead vegetarian and vegan dishes that will appeal to everyone. The Green Batch Cook Book is packed with gloriously mouth-watering meal prep ideas for every cook. Sam - and some of her cooking - can be found on Instagram at @samgatesfood.
