The Ebony Cookbook
by Freda DeKnight

From the back cover:

The first "A Date With a Dish" appeared in 1948; it reappeared as "The Ebony Cookbook" in 1962, and has stood the test of time.

Freda DeKnight's selection from the thousands of American Negro recipes in her collection is unique. It preserves many dishes that might otherwise be lost to a TV-dinner generation. It provides a guide and reference for everyone, from novice cook to discriminating gourmet, who loves good food.

In 390 pages the uses of herbs, spices and wines, a "Guide for the Housewife" (which really tells how to cook), and a section of complete menus supplement the organized presentation of recipes for everything from appetizers to dessert. Readers of EBONY Magazine have long relied on the monthly feature, "A Date With a Dish," for new ideas and old favorites. A growing public has come to find an unfailing source of culinary inspiration in the "The Ebony Cookbook."
