JOY MITCHELL
“MAMA JOY”
Born and raised in Ridgeland SC and now residing in Bluffton, Joy Mitchell has always been the daughter of the Low Country. Her journey began long before she would even realize it while at the side of her mother Ann Mitchell affectionally known by all as “Mama Ann” Beginning at age 7, Ann would have a daughter sitting by her side as she taught her all of her unique cooking techniques and recipes. It would not be until the pandemic that Joy would realize her further calling.
As businesses and restaurants shuttered, friends and family began asking Joy to cook for them some of their favorite meals. Whether it was 10 am or 1 am Joy was happy to whip up seemingly whatever they wanted. Inspired by this and the memory of “Mama Ann”, “Mama Joy” and Mama Joy’s Kitchen were born with the sole purpose of providing friends, family and strangers alike a taste of what “Mama Ann” provided to so many for so long…
FOOD FOR THE SOUL!
