Matthew Raiford Chef Demo

We are excited to partner with Matthew Raiford, a celebrated Gullah Geechee culinarian and 6^th generation farmer.

Matthew’s book, Bress ‘n’ Nyam or ‘bless and eat” in the Gullah Geechee dialect, features over 100 heirloom recipes that offer a “culinary representation of the ocean, rivers, and rich fertile loam in and around the coastal South. From the Carolinas to Georgia and Florida, this is where descendants of enslaved Africans came together to make extraordinary food.”

Matthew was recently featured in the New York Times and Bon Appétit Magazine, and will be preparing select recipes to share with the Goucher community.
