Jacket. First Edition. NY: Viking, 1954.
According to Toni Tipton-Martin in The Jemimah Code, " Jesse Willis Lewis cooked Creole dishes and Gulf Coast specialties that he had learned at his mother's knee in the Ballard home in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. This book is a compilation of more than 340 of his classic recipes...what is mind-blowing is that these authors observe and record the true finesse possessed by one of history's disregarded cooks, providing details without degradation."
A bit of sunning to jacket spine, else very good and bright; scarce.
