Sumayya Usmani has lived in Glasgow since 2015. In 2006 she left her native Pakistan and moved to London but after almost decade, with several years spent dividing her time between there and Glasgow, she moved to Scotland permanently. As a food writer and cook, her work is inspired by the vast array of natural local produce on offer north of the border. Here she tells us more about why she loves the city.



The first thing that hits you about Glasgow is how incredibly welcoming and friendly it is. From the people to the atmosphere, everything is so approachable. It’s a very real city. Glasgow has all the buzz of a big city with the raw feeling and warmth of a smaller town. People in Glasgow are friendly and they have a really dry, self-deprecating sense of humour.
