Printed cookbook divided into sections for categories of handwritten recipes (Philadelphia: Claxton, Remsen & Haffelfinger, 1870?), with recipes copied by Fanny Kemble in almost every section. Some recipes are attributed to individuals, such as "Mrs. Louis Agassiz" (Elizabeth Cabot Cary Agassiz, p. 27), and others to published sources, such as coffee recipes (p. 245) from Francis B. Thurber (author of Coffee: From plantation to cup, first published in 1866) and Alexis Soyer (author of The modern housewife or ménagère, first published in 1849). On the half title page, below the printed title The Household Treasury, the words "or Psalms & Lyrical Ballads" have been added carefully in ink. Eight leaves formerly laid in the book (six recipes; a list of food, drink, and prices titled "Reception Provisions for 110"; and a letter written by Fanny Kemble in Chestnut Hill dated August 21 (no year) to her adult daughter Sarah Butler Wister, providing additional details to a recipe); and the former backing of the spine are now stored in an envelope inside the box for the book. The binding is detached from the book block.

THE GEECHEE COOKBOOK My Official Geechee Cookbook highlights Geechee low-country cooking and food preparations that were popularized on the Georgias barrier sea islands from the early 1700s until up to the end-of-the Civil War. A special effort has been made to include the similarities of possible African culture and slaves tradition on each island. Recorded history has been included about each area. Although much of the history has been lost, the slaves made do with what they were able to simulate from their culture. The efforts in this cookbook have been dedicated to the impact of the Geechee contributions to the state of Georgia. Some people in Georgia call themselves Gullah. However, my grandmother was a Geechee. The research honors her heritage. Gullahs are popular in the low country areas of the Carolinas. My Official Geechee Cookbook is a result of my research with certain people who said they were Geechee and collected recipes from these people. The cookbook is not comprehensive of all Geeches recipes. Historical influences surrounding the Geechees survival on the Georgia sea coastline from slavery until present day have been examined.
