Toni Tipton-Martin scrutinized this book in her publication The Jemima CODE - Two Centuries of African American Cookbooks noting the author "made her confused prejudices known through plantation sketches laced with bitter complaints about the near impossibility of procuring recipes for her (cookbok) - 'Getting directions from colored cooks is rather like trying to write down the music to spirituals which they sing.'".
