#34 Gullah Geechee Food & Culture with Chef Amethyst Ganaway

#34 Gullah Geechee Food & Culture with Chef Amethyst Ganaway

I'm excited to welcome award-winning chef and food writer Amethyst Ganaway onto the pod as we delve into the history and culture of the Gullah Geechee people, descendants of West African slaves in the American South.

Chef Amethyst shares the Gullah Geechee’s enduring West African heritage, spanning language, food, art, and music, while tracing the vital role they played in the economic boom of the American South through their cultivation of Carolina Gold rice.

This fascinating conversation delves into how isolation along the coast preserved their unique culture and how their contributions have shaped both Southern and American foodways.

We explore how Gullah Geechee traditions—especially in food—are deeply rooted in West African heritage, how Carolina Gold rice changed the course of U.S. history, and the resilience behind it all.Connect with Chef Amethyst:
