Chef Mike & Sam Thomsett

Hello, we are Sam and Mike, known as Foodsense. We started our culinary journey a few years ago, leaving our commercial careers to undertake new, exciting lifestyle positions in the French Alps and The Loire Valley before deciding on re-training as chefs in France. We are foodies but over the years have found it increasingly difficult to get a meal in a restaurant that we would rate as fantastic. In general, we have become increasingly disillusioned with the taste, quality and value of the food we have received when eating out - whether in a pub, a cafe or an expensive restaurant, and not just in the UK but all over the world. Of course there are exceptions but we made it our mission to do better! With these values in mind, we set up as private chefs to offer tasty, quality cuisine for clients in the privacy of their own home or on holiday in Dorset. We cook with high quality ingredients sourced locally where possible, and create a tailored menu for every event - cookery and patisserie - to clients who are looking for a culinary duo who are passionate about food and want a friendly and relaxed service. We've been cooking professionally for three years but we like to keep developing our skills along the way. This year we completed a cookery and patisserie course in France at Gastronomicom Academy. We are used to providing menus for different allergies and intolerances whilst maintaining great flavours and presentation of our food.

We are passionate about creating:

• Food that tastes fantastic

• Food that looks fantastic

• Food that is fresh and healthy
