This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.

A first edition, hardcover book (a) with a removable dust jacket (b) of the cookbook Spoonbread and Strawberry Wine by sisters Norma Jean Darden and Carole Darden. The front inside flap of the dust jacket was detached from the rest of the dust jacket but was fixed by NMAAHC conservation in 2021-2022. The dust jacket features a color photograph of the two sisters standing amid foliage in front of a white picket fence. Both sisters wear white dresses with blue flower print aprons. The sister on the left holds a basket of produce and the sister on the right holds a sunhat and a small bouquet of flowers. At their feet is another basket of produce and a cut watermelon. The photograph wraps around the entire jacket, front and back.
