What Mrs. Fisher Knows About Old Southern Cooking is one of the earliest cookbooks written by an African American, authored by Abby Fisher in 1881. Born into slavery, Fisher drew upon her personal experience and rich culinary heritage to compile a collection of over 160 recipes that celebrate Southern cuisine. The book features a variety of dishes, including pickles, preserves, cakes, puddings, and savory staples, providing insight into the cooking methods and flavors that define Southern cooking. Written in a straightforward, practical style, it reflects the oral traditions of African American cooking, blending African, European, and Native American influences.
