                               <div class=\"intro-people__text\"><p>Para Sam Cooper, el regreso a Beckons le supuso encontrarse con un paisaje muy diferente. El chef, nacido en Tasmania, se incorpor\u00f3 a la empresa por primera vez en 2017, pasando diez meses como ayudante de cocina en Capella Lodge durante un a\u00f1o sab\u00e1tico en su carrera en la alta cocina. Posteriormente, trabaj\u00f3 en cocinas aclamadas como Aurora en Adelaida y The Islington Hotel en Hobart, antes de recalar finalmente en The Louise. Barossa le result\u00f3 familiar en ciertos aspectos, con una fuerte conexi\u00f3n con la tierra y las estaciones que le recordaba a Tasmania, adem\u00e1s de los c\u00e1lidos veranos del sur de Australia que tanto le gustan. En Appellation, esa conexi\u00f3n se expresa a trav\u00e9s de men\u00fas creados a partir de relaciones duraderas con cultivadores, agricultores y productores de Barossa y de todo el sur de Australia.    <\/p>\n<p>La cocina de Sam se fundamenta en esas relaciones. Una de las m\u00e1s significativas es la que mantiene con Ryan Edwards, antiguo chef ejecutivo de The Louise, que ahora suministra a la cocina patos ecol\u00f3gicos que Sam considera inigualables en Australia y que mantiene en todos sus men\u00fas. La cultura vin\u00edcola tradicional de Barossa tambi\u00e9n influye en su enfoque, con platos dise\u00f1ados para maridar de forma natural con los c\u00e9lebres vinos de la regi\u00f3n. Pero para Sam, lo m\u00e1s gratificante de dirigir una cocina suele ser ver c\u00f3mo otra persona encuentra su lugar en ella. \u201cCuando veo a un miembro del equipo j\u00fanior aprender nuevas habilidades o crear un plato nuevo y emocionante con una calidad suficiente para incluirlo en el men\u00fa\u201d, afirma, recuerda por qu\u00e9 ama su trabajo. En \u00faltima instancia, ese mismo sentido del descubrimiento es lo que espera ofrecer a los hu\u00e9spedes: una cocina que supere las expectativas y cree \u201cemociones y recuerdos que perduren m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de su estancia\u201d.     <\/p>\n<\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n
