Australia already knows how well Nakkiah Lui can write. Over the past decade the Kamilaroi and Torres Strait Islander woman has risen to become one of the country’s most in-demand playwrights and screenwriters, helming TV favourites like sketch show Black Comedy and the ABC’s six-part series Preppers.
But as her most recent television appearance proves, Lui also goes alright in the kitchen. You may have caught her last week on SBS Food’s The Cook Up, whipping up lemon myrtle mushrooms alongside host Adam Liaw.
