The Jemima Code presents more than 150 Black cookbooks that range from a rare 1827 house servant’s manual, the first book published by an African American in the trade, to modern classics by authors such as Edna Lewis and Vertamae Grosvenor. To discover the true role of Black women in the creation of American, and especially Southern, cuisine, Toni Tipton-Martin has spent years amassing one of the world’s largest private collections of cookbooks published by African-American authors, looking for evidence of their impact on American food, families, and communities and for ways we might use that knowledge to inspire community wellness of every kind. Women of African descent have contributed to America’s food culture for centuries, but their rich and varied involvement is still overshadowed by the demeaning stereotype of an illiterate “Aunt Jemima” who cooked mostly by natural instinct.

But Madeline is terrified, because in her desperation to revive her career, she's done something reckless: revealed the truth behind an actual affair involving her best friend, Grace. Author Madeline King has a new novel coming out, and it's got bestseller potential. I liked the authors dark sense of humor and did enjoy Dexter’s morally ambiguous character. This made the book readable for even someone with my aversion to gore without losing any impact. The author does a great job giving just enough details to make you imagine terrible things. If you like thrillers though, I’d check this out. I don’t think I’ll be reading any more of the series. In fact, while I enjoyed these books, being asked to empathize with a guy who, oh by the way, cuts people up while they’re still alive (!) was just too weird for me. He also did an impressive but even more creepy job of making Dexter likeable. However, given what I know, I felt the author did a creepily good job of capturing Dexter’s feeling of anticipation, need to kill, and satisfaction at doing so.
