Compiled in 1996 by Barbara J. Harris Whitmore, it contains recipes from families who attended the now-defunct Ross Hill Missionary Baptist Church in Chickasaw County, Mississippi. Included is an excerpt by Grant Peter Lee Gordon (1870-1950), whose genealogy is entailed in the Gordon Hughes Descendants List (11-01-001): "My father bought one half section of land, 320 acres just four years after the Civil War ended. He gave one acre of land for the first church, school and graveyard owned by colored people in that community...The name of the school built on the land my father gave was named Ross Hill. Several boys and girls who got their rudiments of education in Ross Hill school later became teachers. Some are preachers, doctors and businessmen." This recipe book embodies how cooking, as well as food itself, had and continues to have an impact on the sense of community cultivated by Ross Hill.
