She is a member of the Southern Foodways Alliance (http://www.southernfoodways.com); and reminds us affectionately “…we are responsible for the history we leave in the history book, the way we eat, cook, and cultivate our farms is a direct reflection of our commitment to good, dare I say great food.”

Denay insist that her students create their own style of cooking and believes, “cooking is not just about food, it’s about memories, tradition and having fun in the kitchen.
According to Denay, “it is not how often you cook, but how well you cook that really matters. If you just have a few deliciously sinful recipes under your belt, you will always be able to experience a divine dine.”
