Item description from seller

Slate cloth, wear and chipping with some loss and browning at edges of unclipped jacket, front hinge cracked in the gutter but still sound and fine internally.; signed on the front endpaper by Verta Mae "Peace and Power, Verta Mae" and on pastedown by previous owner. 190pp A vital work on Gullah cuisine and culture (that also includes much of interest in Verta Mae's unique Gullah/Philadelphia/Paris/NY food life) - the uniquely rich low country South Carolina and Georgia culture more closely related to West Indian than African-American - it evolved from the remoteness of the mostly West African slave population. 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. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilo. Category: Cooking, Wine & Dining; Signed by Author. Inventory No: CAT000960.
