This is an opportunity for a food writer to secure a bursary of up to £2500 to undertake a trip to Asia and support the production of their first cookbook. Open to UK residents aged over 18.
Fulfil a dream to research, travel and write an original work about food and food culture from any corner of Asia – Iran to Japan, Indonesia to the Central Asian Republics.
The Yan-Kit So Memorial Award for Food Writers on Asia, offered by the Oxford Cultural Collective Trust, is inspired by the work of Yan-Kit So (1933-2001), arguably Britain’s leading authority on Chinese cuisine.
The aim of the award is to enable an emerging writer to undertake a research trip to Asia, to support the production of an original piece of writing, intended for publication, which will enhance understanding and appreciation of Asian food culture. This original work should be a cookbook, written in English.
The maximum bursary available is £2,500.
