Former MasterChef contestant Julie has always found inspiration for her cooking in the Malaysian food of her mother and grandmother. She has taken that love for her family cooking and her passion for traditional eateries to create two of her own restaurants in her hometown of Glasgow — Malaysian street food café Julie’s Kopitam and South East Asian kitchen & cocktail bar Ga Ga.

Julie’s first recipe contribution to Another Pantry has come through her feature in Clare Finney’s book The Female Chef, charting and exploring the experience of 31 female cooks and chefs that have changed up the UK food industry in recent years.
