Elizabeth "Liz" Haigh (née Allen,[1] born May 1988)[2] is a Singaporean-born chef who competed on MasterChef in 2011, and went on to win a Michelin star at the Hackney-based restaurant Pidgin.

Born to a Singaporean mother, an English father in Singapore, and raised in Maidenhead,[3] she trained as an architect at Central Saint Martins in London.

[16] The book was withdrawn by the publisher Bloomsbury "due to rights issues"[17][18][19] in October 2021 after Haigh was accused of plagiarizing recipes and anecdotes from Singaporean author Sharon Wee's 2012 Nonya cuisine recipe book Growing up in a Nonya Kitchen.

[20][21] The author was also alleged to have plagiarized from other sources including the food blog Rasa Malaysia[17] and a Singaporean cookbook published in 1981.
