One of the first books to introduce Americans to Gullah-Geechee food, it was enormously influential and continues to ripple through Southern cuisine as it is (belatedly) embraced. Frogs, codfish with green sauce, escaviach Jamaica style, Frank Smart's cold hot smoked tongue, gator tails, smothered rabbit, hoe cake, etc. Unusual signed. Size: 8vo. Quantity Available: 1.

Add to basketCondition: Near Fine. dj. First printing. First edition of this classic of culinary Americana: part-narrative, part-cookbook memoir of the experiences of a Gullah Geechee woman, prescient in style and content. The LA TIMES notes that VIBRATION COOKING "illuminates one Black woman's experience like no work of literature before or… since." The flow between recipe and prose would not be out of place on a cooking blog of today; Mae's reflections on the origins of her ingredients and commentary on US culture give context to her traditional and global dishes. "There is no reference to black people's contribution to the culinary arts. White folks act like they invented food," she observes in the first chapter, but "food is food. Everybody eats!" Mae herself has a wide and varied career - from journalism and broadcasting to acting and activism - and was a prominent force in the Black Arts Movement. Now recognized a landmark cookbook, VIBRATION COOKING has been reprinted numerous times. However, the first edition is increasingly scarce. 8.25'' x 5.5''. Original black cloth binding with silver lettering to spine. Original color pictorial dust jacket, unclipped ($4.95), designed by Sydney Butchkes. Red endpapers. 190 pages, including index. Jacket spine mildly sunned, with a slightly creased tear on the rear panel, touches of edgewear. Book trace shelfwear. Else clean and sound. Near fine in very good plus jacket.
