Born and raised on the Sea Islands of Charleston, South Carolina, cook and caterer Kardea Brown grew up in a big family with a love for food, especially the cherished recipes they passed down from generation to generation. She began cooking as a child in her grandmother’s kitchen, where she learned to make the traditional Gullah dishes of the region. On her brand-new series Delicious Miss Brown, Kardea shares the family events, culture and recipes close to her heart – including Sunday supper after crabbing on the dock, a low country boil at the beach and shrimp boating to prepare for the ultimate shrimp fest. The new show premieres Sunday, July 28 at 11:30a|10:30c.

Kardea Brown is a contemporary Southern cook born in Charleston, South Carolina. She is of Gullah/Geechee decent, a term used to describe a distinct group of African Americans living in the coastal areas of South Carolina and Georgia who have managed to preserve much of their West African language, culture and cuisine. Kardea created the pop-up New Gullah Supper Club, where her menu pays homage to the dishes her grandmother and mother passed down to her. She is the host of Food Network’s upcoming series Cupcake Championship and has appeared on Beat Bobby Flay, Chopped Junior, Cooks vs. Cons, Family Food Showdown and Farmhouse Rules.
