Capturing the spirit of Glasgow’s young, diverse food scene, which is enhancing the city’s character and international reputation, Julie Lin and Noby Leong will prepare a dinner that marries the very best Scottish produce with the vibrant flavours of Malaysia.

In discussion before dinner, Julie and Noby will explore the role of chefs and food writers as champions of inclusive culture.

With sounds throughout the evening from DJ Sloan of Lezure.

Julie Lin, television presenter and chef, published her first book, Sama Sama, in 2025, to much acclaim. Through her writing and broadcasting, she celebrates her Malaysian and Scottish heritage. Julie previously owned a Michelin-listed restaurant, GaGa, in Glasgow.
