Gullah and Geechee people are a unique group of African Americans from the coastal regions of South Carolina and Georgia, known for preserving their West African language, culture, and cuisine. The Way Home serves as a love letter to Kardea's family roots, blending West African herbs, spices, and grains with Southern cooking. Kardea emphasizes that the foundation of Southern cooking was built by Gullah people long before the farm-to-table movement became popular.

This collection is not just about recipes; it’s about honoring heritage while offering a generous serving of culinary joy that will nurture both the body and soul.
