WHAT THEY THINK

"I'm closer with my family because of the water. I'm closer with my community because of the water. I'm closer with the food that I eat every day because of the water. It's all because of the water."

"When you taste Gullah Geechee cooking, you taste generations of cooking. I was raised in the kitchen whether it was indoors or outdoors, to put my heart in my food. There’s a saying “you put your foot in it” that’s when you know the food is really good. It’s in our culture to put “our foot in it” to put our heart in our cooking."
