Summary:

The main purpose of the wedding cookbook is to highlight African American Southern belles. From slavery up to the present time, the African American woman has planned exquisite weddings with little or no resources. She used hand-me-downs or made her wedding clothing from threads taken from spinning cotton and dyeing the cloth. In the wedding cookbooks, the author suggests menus and recipes traditionally prepared in the South or Southeastern states.

"Three menu choices are presented for each level of income per activity-upper, middle and working class. Then quotes by the ex-slaves - men and women from the slave narratives for describing weddings on the plantation are written after the recipes."--Introduction.
