The Black Family Dinner Quilt Cookbook
Publishers: The National Council of Negro Women (USA)
Publication date: 1993
A fantastic informative and unique cookbook concept.
As a shared meal nourishes the body, so a quilt, passed from generation to generation, warms and nourishes the spirit. Both recipes and quilts preserve the culture and history of a people and their social, historic, and artistic connections to their past and their future. Celebrating both these traditions, The Black Family Dinner Quilt offers recipes based on both traditional and contemporary African-American cuisine.
It is also signed by the American actor Meshach Taylor, for reasons I am unable to work out (!)

Rare and hard to find in the U.K
