I never had the pleasure of meeting miss Emily but put that on my to do list when I retire and come back to Edisto. Sadly I missed my opportunity with much regret. I grew up on the beach of Edisto and eating at the gas station then piggly wiggly after the hurricane. My deepest sympathy. She was an icon and intend to still purchase her cookbook. I know it´s difficult to put the recipes on paper but I´m sure she approved! Again

Ms. Emily Meggett was a chef who brought Gullah Geechee cuisine to a wide audience with her cookbook, "Gullah Geechee Home Cooking: Recipes from the Matriarch of Edisto Island." Ms. Emily Meggett's presence and her many contributions to her community as a woman who loved to help and share her cooking with others. May the love and the special memory you shared and cherish with her show just how much your life was touched by her.
