The cookbook was created by four women who gathered recipes from various people scattered across the United States, and it is addressed \u201cto all cooks\u201d who aspire to learn how to make \u201cmore elegant and nutritious dishes.\u201d The desire for elegance contrasts the simple and inexpensive appearance of the book, but there are black and white cartoons to help decorate the pages inside.<\/p>\n<p>Since the recipes were submitted by several different people, there is no consistent format or structure throughout, but all of the ingredients and instructions are traditional and simplistic. The women making this cookbook worked to preserve the traditions of the community but also to pass on communal knowledge and attitudes.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There are idiosyncratic sayings, songs, and \u201crecipes\u201d placed sporadically, such as the saying, \u201cDropping a knife is a sign of male company; a fork, female; a teaspoon, the sign of disappointment.\u201d A Scripture cake and a marriage cake were also included to help reinforce the religious and sexual views of the community at the time.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1956\" style=\"width: 871px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/apps.lib.ua.edu\/blogs\/coolathoole\/files\/2014\/11\/CommunityRoots-Detail2B.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1956\" class=\"wp-image-1956 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/apps.lib.ua.edu\/blogs\/coolathoole\/files\/2014\/11\/CommunityRoots-Detail2B.jpg\" alt=\"CommunityRoots-Detail2B\" width=\"861\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/apps.lib.ua.edu\/blogs\/coolathoole\/files\/2014\/11\/CommunityRoots-Detail2B.jpg 861w, https:\/\/apps.lib.ua.edu\/blogs\/coolathoole\/files\/2014\/11\/CommunityRoots-Detail2B-300x156.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 861px) 100vw, 861px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1956\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Scripture Cake<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Almost all of the recipe contributors were women, which suggests that most of the people who read this cookbook were also women. However, there are a couple of recipes submitted by men. The makers of this book inserted a tip that says, \u201cNote to men: If you must be a cook \u2013learn to clean up as you go along.\u201d This implies that they believed cooking and other kitchen-related tasks should stay women\u2019s work. By having these tips and various sayings alongside traditional recipes, the Lost Creek Community was passing on values held by women to other women in the area. The cookbook also has the community\u2019s history at the end; there are images of an old-fashioned town and the city map that begin this section. The creators give the history of the Lost Creek Community from slavery to 1979, and it also includes a list of all of the men that served in the military. This end section reveals communal pride, even though at first glance it seems out of place in a cookbook. However, all of these peculiar aspects, such as the marriage cake or the town map, are cohesive in their role to preserve the traditions and heritage of the Lost Creek Community. The cookbook <em>Our Community Roots<\/em> not only was a way for women in the community to learn recipes, but it was also a way for women to keep traditional practices and beliefs alive and bring women together through making food.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: Emily Tarvin, MA student\u00a0in American Studies Our pedagogy series is a way to highlight innovative teaching using primary sources housed in the Division of Special Collections.
