Bonus Episode: Denai Moore

Our first bonus episode of season 7 is another chat I’ve been dying to have for a long time and I love that it happened under these circumstances. You see, Denai Moore is a British-Jamaican artist I’ve gotten to know over the years through her music (which is fucking excellent by the way). We do chat about her music career across this podcast, but we also chat in-depth about how she’s grown into a chef and author of a cookbook; Plentiful: Vegan Jamaican Recipes to Repeat. Plentiful is Denai’s first cookbook, and it’s such a triumph. Along with being beautifully designed, it was also written with a level of ease in mind for the reader. With an air of authenticity and encapsulating Denai’s unique voice, it’s just really something else. Throughout this episode, we chat about how the book came to be, how Denai’s passion for cooking is rooted in her Jamaican heritage, and the joys of using creativity to learn more about yourself.

After you hear the episode, be sure to check out Denai’s track Grapefruit on the Porch on the official New Exchange Playlist. Also, be sure to follow Denai Moore on Spotify, Facebook, and Instagram.
