Cleora's Kitchens:The
Memoir of a Cook & Eight Decades of Great American Food, Second Edition
$19.95
Through stories, menus and recipes, Cleora Butler recreates the flavor of
her own remarkable history - and ours.
Starting with a freedmen's wagon ride out of Texas, Cleora takes us from the
beaten biscuits of her childhood, baked in a wood burning oven, to fricasseed
quail for 24, cooked in kitchens of Oklahoma's oil barons, from her
grandfather's homemade sausage to the catered pates of her professional
life.
