86: Culinary Activism and Cookbooks with Lelani Lewis

Kate and Molly speak with Lelani Lewis, a London born food stylist and culinary activist of Grenadian and Irish heritage now based in Amsterdam. Lelani shares how homesickness spurred her into a culinary career through pop-ups, where the idea for her debut cookbook came from as well as why she chose this title. She speaks about her desire to share the colorful, diverse nature of Caribbean food alongside its dark history and what she hopes readers will get from reading her book. She talks about working with a Dutch publisher, the unique editing and translation process, how she settled on her final recipe list and her ambitious new project. Hosts: Kate Leahy + Molly Stevens + Kristin Donnelly + Andrea NguyenEditor: Abby Cerquitella MentionsLelani LewisWebsiteInstagram Using food as a tool to reconcile history | Lelani Lewis | TEDxAmsterdamSalonJessica B HarrisNijgh Publishing, AmsterdamTra PublishingEpisode 25: Inside a Ukrainian Kitchen with Anna Voloshyna Visit the Everything Cookbooks Bookshop to purchase a copy of the books mentioned in the showCode Noir: Afro-Caribbean Stories and Recipes by Lelani LewisYou and I Eat the SameIron Pots & Wooden Spoons by Jessica B Harris
