Cooking the Gullah Way, Morning, Noon, and Night [Standard Large Print 16 Pt Edition] Paperback – August 31, 2009

If you have seen the movie or read the book, THE HELP, then you will know how I was raised from the time of my birth in 1946 until my "Mother of Color" left to nurse younger children, in 1956. She woke me in the morning with kisses and put me to bed with wonderful Gullah stories. My first language was Gullah, and I still speak it. For my parents part, they knew they had a gem in this wonderful woman, and compensated her well for her nursing efforts (I have seen the ancient, fading cashed checks).This book is a wonder of fabulous memories of foods, all of which I have eaten. I especially remember the poor man's bread which I used to beg Willie Mae to make. Now understand, this is not a Julia Child endeavor - it is a work of art. But you will come away will a visceral understanding of both the historical and culinary in-breathing that surrounds the island that can only be reached by boat.

Great read, interesting history of the Gullah way of life and yummy recipes.

It had good information on the gala people and it had some really cool recipes that I am wanting to try.

Great recipes and I enjoy the stories. Can't wait to try some of the recipes.

Flàvortastic Gullah. History.

Looking for a good Gullah cook book for a Gullah food night with friends. Ms. Robinson's book was perfect. Plus her stories made reviewing the recipes lots of fun. I highly recommend it. And if you have not done any Gullah cooking - give both a try.

I was recently in Hilton Head, NC and was looking for a book featuring Gullah cooking but the shop didn't have any at the time. This book was recommended and I was so glad to find it on Amazon. As much as the recipes being very interesting so are the comments by the author. I would certainly tell anyone interested in authentic Gullah food this would be an excellent choice.

Lovely book. Although a lot of the recipes contain ingredients that aren't available in this area, the narrative by Ms Robinson was alone worth the purchase of this book. Her reminiscences of growing up "Gullah" were entertaining and heartwarming.
