Comms from the Shed: interviewing diverse voices on our present and the future. - A podcast by Sam Bleazard
Growing up in Taunton in Somerset, with 3 brothers, a Dad who was a Dairy Farmer and a Mum who was a Nurse, Sam White wasn't sure what he wanted to do as a career. Due to his dyslexia he considered joining the Army initially, due to a lack of confidence in continuing in the education system. However he went on to take a course in business studies at College, and following a chance meeting with a Head Chef locally - also a College lecturer - he got an apprenticeship. This was to be the first very small step, which led him on a culinary journey around the world. Sam is now the Head Chef at 45 Jermyn St. - Fortnum & Mason's renowned restaurant, where many of his heroes - some of them Michelin Star Chefs - now come to eat. This is his story.
