Julie Lin: Instant Noodles Inspiration

Information

Julie Lin is back for her fourth Stranraer Oyster Festival, which, of course has fast become her favourite food festival! She's opening this year's Kitchen Marquee programme in style with inspiration from 'Got Noods?', the brand new YouTube series where Julie sits down with inspiring guests to talk life, culture and everything in between, all over the simple joy of a packet of instant noodles. Recent guests have included Bemz, the rising UK rap star who spent his teenage years in Stranraer.

Expect affordable, full-flavoured cooking that draws on the Malaysian-Scottish heritage Julie has made her signature, alongside the kind of warm, generous conversation her audiences have come to love. This is food without fuss: clever, comforting dishes that prove a great meal doesn't need a long shopping list or a big budget, just good ingredients, a bit of imagination and the right company round the table.

Julie's first book Sama Sama was described by Nigella Lawson as a book "of such charm, it just burrowed its way into my heart," and the same spirit runs through everything she does on stage. A perfect opening note for the weekend ahead.
