Sama Sama

More than a cookbook, Sama Sama celebrates all parts of Julie’s mixed Malaysian heritage through 90 recipes that are “authentically in-between.” In Malay, sama sama (“same same”) is a way of saying “you’re welcome” to reinforce the idea of togetherness and equality in this everyday exchange. From successful restaurateur and TV presenter Julie Lin, Sama Sama celebrates all parts of Julie’s identity (Malaysian, Chinese and Scottish) with heartwarming stories of food and self-discovery, reminding us that food is the thread that ties us all together.
