Food for the Soul: Julie Lin, Pam Brunton, Katie Goh & the Hebridean Baker
Part of our Life’s
Fundamentals strand, Scottish chefs, food writers, and memoirists discuss the
power of the culinary to shape who we are. Malaysian Scottish chef of
Glasgow’s award-winning restaurant GaGa, Julie Lin, introduces Sama Sama, a
celebration of how recipes can bring people together and forge a path of
self-discovery. Award-winning Highland restaurant owner, Pam Brunton, shares
Between Two Waters, exploring how the immersive experience of ‘destination
restaurants’ can both help and hinder our understanding of wider land and
food culture. Edinburgh-based writer and journalist, Katie Goh, brings us
Foreign Fruit, delving into the multifaceted history of the orange, and
showing how, in pulling it apart, we might gain a fresh understanding of our
own heritage and capacity for change.
Taking place alongside the Paisley Food and Drink Festival, we’re delighted
to welcome back festival favourite Coinneach MacLeod, AKA The Hebridean
Baker, to host this fascinating discussion.
