Many thanks to NetGalley, the University of Texas Press and Toni Tipton-Martin for the ARC in exchange for an honest review. I went in thinking that this book would have more recipes than it does. The history of cookbooks and their authors was interesting in places, but fell flat in others. Really liked seeing the old cookbooks from way back when.This would not be a keep in the kitchen book, but a nightstand stack book. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
Women of African descent have contributed to America's food culture for centuries, but their rich and varied involvement is still overshadowed by the demeaning stereotype of an illiterate "Aunt Jemima" who cooked mostly by natural instinct. Tipton-Martin looks at black cookbooks that range from a rare 1827 house servant's manual, the first book published by an African American in the trade, to modern classics. These cookbooks offer firsthand evidence that African Americans cooked creative masterpieces from meager provisions, educated young chefs, operated food businesses, and nourished the African American community through the long struggle for human rights.

I found [b:Soul to Soul: A Soul Food Vegetarian Cookbook|2603183|Soul to Soul A Soul Food Vegetarian Cookbook|Mary Burgess|https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/books/1275732701s/2603183.jpg|2627823] especially interesting, and will borrow a copy to read via inter-library loan. A vegetarian soul food cookbook from 1976!
The books are all thoughtfully chronicled. There are not too many recipes, as this is more a study of African American cookbooks than a cookbook. The covers often speak volumes about the history of the USA.
