Two weeks ago, just before I headed out the office door for a week's vacation, Jubilee: Recipes From Two Centuries of African American Cooking by Toni Tipton-Martin arrived on my desk.
I've had the pleasure of meeting Toni Tipton-Martin at an Association of Food Journalists conference a few years ago, and I'm a longtime admirer of her work.
I had been looking forward to receiving an advance review copy of the book, which was released Nov. 5, for ages. But I promised myself I wouldn't "work" (i.e. read or cook anything I might want to write about) while I was on vacation so I left the book on my desk where I'd see it first thing when I returned to the office.
