'Matthew Raiford joins All Of It to discuss his cookbook, Bress 'n' Nyam: Gullah Geechee Recipes from a Sixth-Generation Farmer. "Bress 'n' nyam" means "bless and eat" in the Gullah language. He shares recipes from the cuisine inherited across seven generations of his family, including hot buttermilk biscuits and salmon cakes on pepper rice. In 2010, Raiford and his sister inherited the family farm that was purchased by their great-great-great grandfather in 1874. In the book, he traces a history of community and family through the lens of food.'
