Malinda Russell
malinda russell, a cook, caterer, and cookbook author, was born and raised in Washington and Green Counties in eastern Tennessee. Her mother was born free after her grandmother was set free from slavery. In 1866, Russell published A Domestic Cook Book: Containing Useful Receipts for the Kitchen, which scholars recognize as the first African American cookbook. The book was reissued in a facsimile edition by the University of Michigan’s Longone Center for American Culinary Research in 2007.
