From kitchens around Yeovil

“I did absolutely nothing all day and caught up on some much-needed sleep. At 6pm, I had a friend over for dinner. The recipe was simple: put Sam's homemade pies in the oven and sit down to proper food. No shopping. No prepping. That's the value of Sacred Ember to me. Good food and good times. There when you want it, with the hours I'd normally spend faffing given back to me — and a better result! His food is truly delicious. I've already had recipe requests! That, however, is my Chef's secret. 😉 I paid to fill my fridge. Turns out I bought back my Sunday. — Pete, Ember #000”

Sam Parker in a home kitchen
Hello, I'm Sam

I cook the food I'd want to come home to.

I've spent nearly 20 years cooking professionally, from busy restaurant kitchens to events and hotels. Sacred Ember Kitchen is about taking that experience somewhere a little more personal — your home. I come to you, shop for fresh ingredients and cook proper, honest food around the way you and your household actually eat. No generic meal plans and no factory-made trays. Just good food, cooked from scratch, ready in your fridge or freezer for the week ahead. I'm based in Yeovil and cook for households across South Somerset.
