Agak-Agak
Sham Hanifa’s multicultural background is the perfect representation of the Malaysian society that he grew up in, with Chinese and Thai influences from his maternal side and Indian and Malay influences from his paternal side. This is reflected in Sham’s food, which combines these cultures, cuisines and flavours.
You’ll hear people saying the word ‘agak-agak’ all the time in Malaysia, where it’s a common term. It means ‘to estimate’ or ‘to guess’, but to Sham, it means using your instincts when it comes to cooking.
In this book, he’s translated those instincts into easy-to-follow recipes that pack in all the flavour of his diverse heritage.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
