About this product
Product Information
In 1904, Kentucky socialite Minnie C. Fox published The Blue Grass Cook Book with over three hundred recipes to celebrate the cuisine of the Bluegrass State. In the book, Fox gives the first known credit for southern hospitality to African American cooks. In Fox's time, the culinary history of black women in the South was usually characterized by demoralizing portraits of servants toiling in ?big house? kitchens. In contrast, The Blue Grass Cook Book, with its photographs of African American cooks at work and a passionate introduction by Fox's brother, respected Kentucky novelist John Fox Jr., offers insight into the complex bond between well-to-do mistresses and their cooks at the turn of the century. A new introduction by Toni Tipton-Martin adds historical context to this neglected classic and offers a nuanced portrait of a unique and now-vanished culinary culture

Reviews
"Those of us who look to cookbooks for history as well as recipes have a wonderful treat in store."--Culinary History Enthusiasts of Wisconsin, "This century-old treasure of Southern cooking attests to the rich contribution of African Americans to a storied cuisine. Its author, Minnie Fox, and her author brother, who wrote the introduction, were probably the first Southern whites ever to acknowledge the role of black culinary genius." -- Sidney W. Mintz, author of Sweetness and Power: The Place of Sugar in Modern Hi, "The increasing interest in regional and ethnic American culinary history is well served by this facsimile of Minnie Fox's The Blue Grass Cook Book, a work whose origins and recipes deserve to be better known. The University of Kentucky Press and Toni Tipton-Martin, who has written a thought-provoking introduction, are to be congratulated. Ms Tipton-Martin has unearthed new information on the historical context of this American classic. Especially useful are the hitherto unknown details about both the black cooks whose portraits illustrate the volume and the members of the white Kentucky and western Virginia aristocracy who contributed recipes." -- Jan Longone, Curator of American Culinary History, Clements LibraryUniversity of, ""Brings new light to a neglected classic and offers a portrait of a unique and now-vanished culinary culture." -- Morgan Messenger " --, "This century-old treasure of Southern cooking attests to the rich contribution of African Americans to a storied cuisine.
