About this Item
First edition. Octavo. 85pp. Frontispiece of Emma Jane. Printed green yapped wrappers. Small tears at the edges of the yapped wrappers, else very good or better. According to Tipton-Martin's *The Jemima Code* (p.50): "This classic stapled and folded book of 150 standard recipes collected by a white woman on behalf of her black cook is the best example of the worst practice in cookbook publishing - mocking the chef." The recipes are served up with homespun cooking wisdom delivered in (intended) comic dialect, as well as with at least one racially offensive recipe. Nevertheless, authentic Southern recipes.
