"The Golden Heritage Cookbook"
"Began with a Dream in 1991"

Our 50^th Anniversary Celebration "Golden Heritage Cookbook" began with a dream in 1991. The National Board of Directors gave the approval. Boulé 1992 was alerted and the beautiful Golden Heritage Cookbook was the result.

Cooking has long been a mainstay with all women. Not only to feed and nurture our families, but as a means of release of tension and stress and also a chance to create.

The collection of recipes covers mostly the era of today; although there are some with strong evidence of our heritage. The recipes come from all areas of our country, as we are a diverse group of women from all walks of life.

The cookbook is dedicated to the Founders of Gamma Phi Delta Sorority, Elizabeth Garner and Violet T. Lewis. These were women of vision who saw the need of an organization that would fulfill the cultural, educational and social needs of young black women who were striving for a better life for themselves and for future generations.

It is hoped you will enjoy preparing the recipes and that some will become a part of your family tradition. Enjoy also the Gamma Phi Delta history included throughout the book.
