WHAT'S NEXT?

What’s Next? began as a simple question shared between Chef Sam and Ladz—a question that turned into a journey across the world’s kitchens. From the markets of Asia to the cafés of Europe, from the warmth of the Middle East to the vibrant streets of the Americas, this book captures the dishes, memories, and moments that shaped their adventure.

Each recipe carries a story.

Each chapter reveals a culture.

Each page celebrates the way food brings people together.

For Chef Sam, this journey is a celebration of knowledge, tradition, and passion. For Ladz, it is a discovery of flavors, places, and the beauty of learning through taste. Together, they explore iconic dishes not just with technique, but with curiosity, respect, and heart.

What’s Next? is more than a cookbook.

It is the story of two travelers, one mentor and one student, discovering the world through the universal language of food.

Wherever you are—chef, dreamer, traveler, or simply someone who loves good food—this book invites you to join their journey… and to ask yourself the same question:

What’s next?
