This week on the podcast: Chef Miguel Samoza
From cooking for the British Royal Family to creating unforgettable meals at Flora in Newport, RI, Miguel’s culinary journey is as rich and flavorful as the dishes he serves.
Originally from Madrid, Spain, Miguel has cooked alongside Michelin-starred legends Anton Mosimann and Michel Bras. He also served as Sir Richard Branson’s private chef. Now, he brings Mediterranean flair and New England ingredients together with heart, artistry, and a deep love for hospitality.
Together Anne & Miguel discuss:
– His path from Spain to Newport
– The vision behind Flora’s seasonal menu
– His love for local sourcing and storytelling through food
Miguel’s story is a feast for the soul—and Flora is a place you’ll want to return to again and again. Flora restaurant is located within the beautiful Gardiner House in Newport, Rhode Island.
Tune in. Be inspired. Come with an appetite!
