A Recipe for Life
Daufuskie Island cooking is anchored in the real, the wholesome and the local. Until recent times, if it wasn’t grown here, it wasn’t eaten here. That tradition left its trace on what we eat, even now that we can get anything – steaks from Kansas and Kobe, lobsters from Australia and Maine. You’ll still notice the influence of local seafood; peas, yams and okra; butter beans and blackberries. The Daufuskie Island touch on this bounty is so distinctive that there’s a book about it – Gullah Home Cooking the Daufuskie Way, by Sallie Ann Robinson.
When you visit, you’ll find everything from a roadside lunch counter to the freshest seafood. The only thing missing here is the fussy or the pretentious. Just relax and enjoy. Go out and try something new or have one of the island cooks deliver it to your door.
