content: This cookbook tells the story of the experience of the Dallas, Texas, Priscilla Art Club during Covid-19 and sheds light on the history of the club. Founded in 1911, the club is a group of up to 25 Black women who meet monthly to do art together and to support the arts. During the pandemic, the group has met virtually and one of the projects has been creating this cookbook. Money raised from the sale of the cookbook funds grants for Black women artists in the region.
