#35 Gullah Geechee Part 2 with Chef Amethyst Ganaway

We’re back this week with the second half of our chat with Chef Amethyst Ganaway! If you haven’t heard the first part yet, hit pause and go listen—it’s full of great context for this episode.

Chef Amethyst is an award-winning chef featured in The New York Times and Food & Wine magazine. She specializes in Gullah Geechee cuisine and the food of the African diaspora in the South. This week, we dive deeper into Gullah Geechee traditions, their influence on Southern food, and how these flavors and techniques shaped what we now think of as American cuisine.

✨ Highlights:

  • Why Gullah Geechee food is the foundation of American cuisine.
  • The story behind dishes like Hoppin’ John (hint: it’s not just peas and rice!) and okra stew.
  • Pro tips for cooking okra—yes, you can get rid of the slime!
  • How freshness, smokiness, and umami define Gullah Geechee flavors.
  • Where to find authentic Gullah Geechee eats if you’re around Charleston.

If you’re curious about the roots of farm-to-table or want to learn more about a cuisine that blends African, Indigenous, and Southern influences, this episode is for you.
