"A sixth-generation family farm on the Georgia coast that has belonged to the same family since 1874 and serves as the home and inspiration for chef-farmer Matthew Raiford. The land and its day-to-day life are documented in photographs and heirloom recipes in a cookbook that aims to capture the region’s Gullah Geechee foodways and distinctive sense of place — not Savannah or Charleston or Atlanta, but a coastal pocket with its own traditions. Family practices such as shrimping feed dishes like Effie’s Shrimp Creole, a multi-generational, party‑favorite recipe likened to a coastal paella, and illustrate the intimate link between provenance, local ingredients, and flavor that Raiford wants readers to notice in their own regions." - Monica Burton
"A multigenerational family farm on the Georgia coast that anchors a Gullah Geechee culinary revival, supplying meats, poultry, produce, and seafood that inform a cookbook celebrating that heritage. The farm’s history—land acquired post-emancipation and kept in the family for generations—frames recipes ranging from fried fish and devil crab to whole-hog roasts and everyday one-pot stews, with evocative photography, handwritten recipe scraps, and long-held traditions underscoring the connection between land, memory, and cooking." - Eater Staff
