The first cookbook to be written and published by a black chef,
this volume provides a glimpse into a bygone world. Born a slave in
1857, Rufus Estes became one of Chicago's finest chefs -- working
his way up from a Pullman Private Car attendant to a job preparing
meals for the top brass at one of the country's largest steel
corporations. While the heart of the book lies in mouth-watering
recipes for such dishes as Creole-style chicken gumbo, chestnut
stuffing with truffles, and cherry dumplings, the author also
comments briefly on his Southern childhood.
