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 DeKnights 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. 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.

Reviews"A perennial favorite in the kitchen is The Ebony Cookbook . Readers of Ebony Magazine have long relied on the monthly feature 'A Date With A Dish,' in which most of these recipes, menus, and catering inspirations first appeared. A selection from thousands of dishes make up this collection of SOUL FOOD recipes- new ideas and old favorites. The book has a handsome laminated jacket to protect it from spills in the kitchen."  - Chicago Sun-Times

  • Not the same cookbook as the one in the picture . . . but a good book

    The cookbook I received is not the one in the picture above. I already have the cookbook that was sent to me. It is a very good book.
