Cleora's Kitchen: The Memoir of a Cook & Eight Decades of Great American Food

Rating:
Summary: Destined to be a Classic
Review: Cleora's Kitchens begins with a freedman's wagon train ride from Texas to Oklahoma for free land and opportunity in what, at the turn of the 20th century, was to be a Black and Indian state and ends with the story of one woman's remarkable life in food. This is no ordinary cookbook. It contains old recipes that could not possibly be found anywhere else and is a joyful history told in food.
