Charleston's Gullah Recipes: The Gullah People have managed to keep many aspects of their cultural heritage alive today, as evident in their dialect and through their food. We call it love food because you could tell that someone who cared prepared it. They knew that taste mattered. The Gullah People cooked with everything they grew and brought over from Africa. Now you can enjoy many of the same dishes that were handed down for generations. You have not really eaten until you have tasted some of the delicious meals from Charleston's Gullah Recipes.
