Grace & Gumption: The Cookbook

The G&G Cookbook is a social history of Fort Worth told through food and the follow-up book to Grace and Gumption: Stories of Fort Worth Women. Readers will gain glimpses of pantries, kitchens, and dining rooms of the past and learn about the women who presided over them.

We learn a great deal about what the people of Fort Worth have eaten over the past century and a half. The cookbook takes a new approach to American culinary studies, recording the lives of Fort Worth women as well as discussing the food that they prepared and ate.
