Born a slave in 1857, Rufus Estes worked his way up from a Pullman Private Car attendant to a job preparing meals for the top brass at one of the country's largest steel corporations. This cookbook, the first to be written and published by a black chef, includes a number of dishes from Estes' vast culinary collection.
Commenting briefly on his Southern childhood and early years as a railway attendant, Estes goes on to offer simple instructions for preparing such standard fare as fried chicken, beef roast, and glazed carrots. But the heart of the book lies in mouth-watering recipes for dishes rarely found in contemporary cookbooks -- among them Creole-style chicken gumbo, chestnut stuffing with truffles, cherry dumplings, and southern-style waffles. Nearly 600 recipes -- from haute cuisine to family-style meals -- are included.
Sure to intrigue food enthusiasts and collectors of old cookbooks, Rufus Estes' Good Things to Eat will also appeal to anyone interested in the African-American experience.

Light weight beef tallow moisturizer
Every light weight. Easy to apply & No greasy feeling! I actually put a lot and it leaves my skin feeling very hydrated! The smell is not strong.

Life and Skin Changer/Saver!!
This has absolutely changed my skin and life for the better! I tend to have dry and sensitive skin. Traditional lotions and creams last only a few minutes or hours with minimal relief. My hands were getting very dry and wrinkly, but the Beef Tallow has brought my hands back to normal. I even started using it on my face and LOVE IT! The ingredients seem to be minimal using beef tallow, honey, olive oil, etc. It’s not just a surface level moisturizer - it seeps deep into the skin. My family has tried it and can’t wait to buy their own!!

This tallow and honey balm is a really good product!
I really like this Tallow and honey balm. Actually, I use it as a face cream and it is really smooth. What I like the most is that it’s not really greasy feeling when you put it on but once it’s absorbed into the skin your skin feels smooth. You don’t need much either. It comes with a little scoop so that you aren’t sticking your fingers in it. I’m glad I tried it because it is a good value. Another thing, it smells really good and I think it’s because of the ingredients of tallow and honey.

Hoping to reduce redness
Having this product for only a few days I will say I think my skin feels less dry. I am hoping that over time it will help reduce the redness of my face due to rosacea. So far I like it.
