Julie Lin | In Conversation With | thefoodpeople

In this month's episode, Charles speaks to Chef, Restaurateur, Author and TV Presenter Julie Lin about how her love for planning dinner and her Mum's Malaysian heritage began her journey to becoming a chef, how MasterChef helped develop her profile at a deeper level and the exciting fusion of Malaysian cuisine and Scottish ingredients at her restaurant, GaGa.

In addition to this, Julie joins Charles to talk about...

- The narrative around authenticity whilst respectfully cooking with authentic ingredients and techniques
- Adapting and evolving dishes to fit the local Scottish 'larder', whilst being true to Malaysian techniques
- The mentors and influencers that have shaped her career
- What 'fusion' means to her and how it often gets a bad rep (possibly rightly so!)
