Hosted by The Oxford Cultural Collective, the prestigious award recognises an emerging writer who has the ability to enhance our understanding and appreciation of Asian food culture. With the prize money, Samar plans to travel to Gujarat in Western India where he will seek inspiration for a Gujarati cookbook.
