The Jemima Code: Two Centuries of African-American Cookbooks
By Toni Tipton Martin
Martin draws from her extensive personal collection to highlight more than 150 cookbooks by black women, dating back to the early 1800s. This collector’s item includes myth-busting histories, recipes and anecdotes to chronicle the culinary achievements of women like the late Edna Lewis as well as those who have been largely overlooked.
