Plentiful: Vegan Jamaican Recipes to Repeat

Product Information

Author Denai Moore covers the spectrum of Jamaican dishes in this cookbook from Rice Pea Arancini to heart of palm-based 'Salt Fish' paired with fried savory green plantains. Jamaican food is often misrepresented, simplifed and reduced to being really spicy – and MEAT heavy. Jamaican food is often misrepresented, simplified and reduced to being really spicy Рand MEAT heavy. I just HAVE to read the entire book before I can decide which one of these delectable dishes I will make.

Don’t expect a comprehensive guide to “the greatest Jamaican hits”, as Moore warns in her introduction: do expect recipe after recipe that will help you usher in real joy in the kitchen and at the table. Dee's Table was nominated for the prestigious YBF awards in 2019 and made her cooking TV debut on Jamie Oliver’s 2019 channel 4 show ‘VEG’.In this first-of-its-kind book, Denai Moore pays homage to flavours and authentic dishes from her Jamaican roots whilst firmly planting them within a modern-day context. But there’s no need to unpick the various influences behind each recipe: what you need to know is that her food is just gorgeous! My copy of Plentiful is so a-flutter with post-it notes that I don’t know how to constrain myself to a select few here, but I’ll do my best.

An incredibly exciting, fresh modern twist on authentic flavours I love with bold clever and creative plays on veg! As a recipe developer, Denai has written for the Guardian , and has held cooking demonstrations for Time Out . But I shouldn’t let you go before I’ve told you about some of the desserts, too, so let me just say to you Small-Batch Sticky Toffee Pudding, Jamaican Ginger and Marzipan Loaf and Coffee Miso Caramel Chocolate Pudding!

Denai's pop-up, Dee’s Table, has received a lot of praise from the Metro , Vice , Dojo , and was featured on Jamie Oliver’s television series Jamie's Meat-Free Meals .

I've already bought two copies as presents for friends, and I know I shall be giving a lot more out as the year progresses.Moore is the real thing: a proper eater and true cook with real flair for flavour; her recipes, along with her writing about them, are a-brim with such gleeful generosity, fusing the ingredients and traditions of Jamaica with foods of other cultures with Ottolenghi-like brio but entirely authentic to Moore’s own identity and appetite. A book you need in your kitchen to show you how wonderfully delicious plants are with true homage to Jamaica.
