Description
by Malinda Russell (Author)
A Landmark in African American Culinary and Cultural History
First published in 1866, A Domestic Cookbook by Malinda Russell is the earliest known cookbook authored by an African American woman. Far more than a collection of recipes, this pioneering work offers a rare window into post-Civil War Black domestic life, personal resilience, and culinary sophistication.
Why this book is essential reading:
First Black-authored cookbook - a foundational text in American food history
Cultural and historical insight - published during Reconstruction
Over 250 recipes - including cakes, preserves, custards, and savory dishes
Authentic voice - Russell shares her story of hardship, entrepreneurship, and survival
Whether you're a student of history, a culinary enthusiast, or a collector of rare cookbooks, A Domestic Cookbook belongs on your shelf.
