About This Item

Dayton, Ohio: United Brethren Publishing House, 1878. First Edition. Octavo, original blue cloth lettered in gilt and with black border lines. Compiled by the ladies of the St. Francis Street Methodist Episcopal Church, South, Mobile, Alabam. Very scarce, important early cookbook with the first appearance of recipe for Jambalaya (here called Jam Bolaya). Much Creole cuisine, preceding the New Orleans Creole cookery books. Spine ends chipped, front corners bumped, front hinge starting. Very Good overall.
