Hi, and welcome to The Klutzy Cook blog. Why Klutzy? Because despite my passion and love of cooking, I am extremely accident prone and messy in the kitchen. At this stage, all fingers are still intact, some just, but that won’t stop me.

The Klutzy Cook (Sam Lewers)
I love cooking for my family and friends and have an enormous collection of cookbooks, recipes and food magazines that has been building over the last 20 plus years. As a result, I’m always trying new recipes and ideas on willing (and sometimes unwilling) participants. All cooking takes place in my home in Brisbane, Australia where I live with my three great kids (Mitch, Maggie and Stewart) and partner Steve (this is a ‘recent’ picture of us).

My philosophy on cooking and food is that it should be for fun and enjoyment. The serious stuff I leave to the professionals and experts. For me, if what I prepare tastes good and gets eaten it’s a success.
As people are always asking me about food and recipes, I’ve decided to start sharing it all online. Essentially this blog is a journal of my cooking, recipes and food experiences.
I hope you find some useful information and inspiration for your own home cooking endeavours. Feel free to comment, ask questions and join in the conversation.
Thanks for stopping by and happy cooking.

Hello thank you for the foodbuzz request. Lol I’m pretty klutzy in the kitchen too. I’ve dropped knives and broken glasses on the floor so many times! Maybe I should start wearing shoes
Can’t wait to read more of your posts.
