A hearty combination of shrimp, smoked turkey, and okra steps into the spotlight in this gumbo from southern cook Kardea Brown, founder of The New Gullah Supper Club.

"Gullah is a term used to describe a distinct group of African Americans living in the coastal areas of South Carolina and Georgia. Gullah people are the only group of African Americans that have managed to preserve much of their West African language, culture, and cuisine," says Kardea, who is from a small island on the coast of Charleston called Wadmalaw.

Her grandmother taught her how to cook Gullah dishes that were passed down from her mother.
