Hello! I’m Samson

With Smoke & Ladle, I’m documenting my food journey along with my wife Scholas — one flavorful recipe at a time. From sizzling spices to homestyle comfort meals, I pour passion and love into every dish I share.

From Chef to Family Cook

I’ve spent years cooking in hotels and restaurants, but now I cook for the people I love most — my family and friends. Even though I’m off the professional kitchen floor, my heart still belongs to bold flavors, especially the rich and vibrant tastes of both international and Indian cuisine. My biggest inspiration? My dad. Watching him cook with care and creativity sparked my passion from a young age, and that influence is at the heart of everything I make.

Join the Flavourful Journey

Smoke & Ladle isn’t just a recipe collection — it’s a celebration of cooking at home, sharing good food, and keeping culinary traditions alive. Whether you’re here to try something new or just enjoy the joy of cooking, I invite you to join me.

Let’s cook, share, and savor together!
