Andre Simon Shortlist Special: Sambal Shiok

In the 5th episode of this special series celebrating the Andre
Simon Awards 2021, Gilly discusses Mandy Yin’s shortlisted book
Sambal Shiok with Singaporean writer, Sharon Wee while Mandy is
on maternity leave. Sharon's 2012 book, Growing up in a Nonya
Kitchen was a victim of plagiarism last year, which shook the
global food community. But she hit back and is now working on a
revised version which will be out later this year. You can
hear her episode of Cooking the Books here.


As she compares the Singaporean Nonya kitchen with Mandy's
Malaysian, she reveals some of the rich cultures which make up
one of the most delicious cuisines in the world. But not before
food assessor for the awards, Yemisi Aribisala tells us why
Sambal Shiok is one of the best food books of 2021.
