The Moody Cook

About This Section

88Nine’s Tarik Moody is a man of many talents – technological, musical, design, among others. But the talent he probably enjoys most is cooking.

Fortunately for us, he likes to share his talent. (Whenever he makes, or brings in, a creation at the radio station, let’s just say mouths start to water.)

In “The Moody Cook,” Tarik shares recipes, opinions, talks with chefs, and treats us to other insights into the world of food, through his creative eyes.

Sometimes sweet, sometimes savory – and always interesting.
