Softcover. Condition: Very Good. First edition. Octavo. 85pp. Frontispiece of Emma Jane. Printed green yapped wrappers. Modest chips at the edges of the oversize wrappers, else very good. According to Tipton-Martin. *The Jemima Code* p.50: "This classic stapled and folded book of 150 standard recipes collected by a white woman o…n behalf of her black cook is the best example of the worst practice in cookbook publishing - mocking the chef." The recipes are served up with homespun cooking wisdom delivered in (presumably intended as comic) dialect, as well as with at least one racially offensive recipe. Nevertheless, authentic Southern recipes.
