Gullah Geechee Home Cooking: Recipes from the Matriarch of Edisto Island

"If you’ve never heard of Edisto Island, Emily Meggett’s cookbook is a great place to start learning. Meggett is the matriarch of the island, which is home to many Gullah Geechee people and the food they’ve made for generations. The recipes are fantastic: One of my absolute favorites is Meggett’s Stuffed Fish with Parsley Rice and Roe, which is time-consuming but so worth the effort. You’re going to want to make these dishes again and again – especially Meggett’s Deviled Crab, Fried Okra, She Crab Soup, and Red Rice. And in doing so, you’ll realize the impact that the Gullah Geechee community has had on American food history."
