big mama's Old Black Pot recipes
Alexandria, Louisiana: Stoke Gabriel Enterprises, Inc., 1987. Third Edition. Spiral bound wraps. 207 pages. 23 x 16 cm. "You might think from the book's cover or from the clichèd illustrations of a busty mammy in a head rag slumped over and kneading a mound of dough or carrying a heavy dressed turkey on a silver tray... is just another awful plantation cookbook written by a white woman to caricature her black cook. Thankfully, it is not. In a peculiar twist, an African American author sourced the book's contents from old letters, photographs, journals, diaries, chats across fences, and stories shared on porches between generations... over 150 recipes for sturdy country cooking." - Toni Tipton-Martin. Illustrated throughout. Interior clean. Covers lightly rubbed. [THE JEMIMA CODE 190]. Black illustrated wraps. Very good. Item #5101
