Today, this Lowcountry community represents the most direct living link to the traditional culture, language, and foodways of their West African ancestors. Gullah Geechee Home Cooking, written by Emily Meggett, the matriarch of Edisto Island, is the preeminent Gullah cookbook. At 89 years old, and with more than 50 grandchildren and great-grandchildren, Meggett is a respected elder in the Gullah community of South Carolina. She has lived on the island all her life, and even at her age, still cooks for hundreds of people out of her hallowed home kitchen. Her house is a place of pilgrimage for anyone with an interest in Gullah Geechee food. Meggett's Gullah food is rich and flavorful, though it is also often lighter and more seasonal than other types of Southern cooking. Heirloom rice, fresh-caught seafood, local game, and vegetables are key to her recipes for regional delicacies like fried oysters, collard greens, and stone-ground grits. This cookbook includes not only delicious and accessible recipes, but also snippets of the Meggett family history on Edisto Island, which stretches back into the 19th century. Rich in both flavor and history, Meggett's Gullah Geechee Home Cooking is a testament to the syncretism of West African and American cultures that makes her home of Edisto Island so unique" -- From publisher's website.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 641.59757 Me Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 641.59757 Meggett Checked out 05/22/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 641.59757 Me Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 641.59757 Me Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 641.59757 Me Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pahala P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 641.59757 Me Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Nonfiction 641.59757 Me Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
