Denai Moore is an acclaimed British-Jamaican musician turned chef. She spontaneously started a pop-up called 'Dee's Table' in 2017 after an inspiring trip back to Jamaica to bring her vision of modern Jamaican Vegan Food to life. The concepts of Denai's dishes stems from nostalgia of the food she grew up eating in Jamaica, paying tribute to national Landmarks like Devon House in her famous Rum and Raisin Bao Ice Cream Sandwich. She communicates these deep embedded memories on every dish she serves. Embracing the balancing act of fusion food and using fresh British produce, Denai showcases her authentic view of Jamaican ?avours. Recently mentored by James Cochran (Great British Menu Finalist & Restaurant Owner of 12:51) Dee's Table has received a lot of praise from The Metro, Vice, Dojo, as well as featuring on Jamie Oliver's television series VEG, that was premiered worldwide. Plentiful takes on a lot of these memories and explores recipes that Denai eats at home, either for herself or makes for other people. It speaks to a modern home cook who explores di?erent recipes and ?avors.
As a recipe developer, Denai has written for the Guardian, Leon in their Happy Fast Food Cookbook, held cooking demonstrations on TimeOut and worked with various household brands such as Tropical Sun creating innovative twists on traditional Jamaican ingredients.
