In 1904, when Eustis was in her late sixties, she wrote Creole in Old Cooking Days (On History and Food).

In the mother Gwendolyn Brooks takes a great political issue head on; she gives a unique perspective, giving a first person point of view that seems to be confusing by showing her pain through guilt and blame. The final writing of a song in the front yard, gives the audience an experience almost everyone can relate to; the struggle of a girl who was only allowed to play in the front yard eventually gets curious and wants to see what’s going on in the back alley.

A person creates their own unique identity once they have come out of their own struggle; they enter into the situation as a girl and come out a woman.

However, not everyone has the courage to put his fingers in another country’s cuisine. Not because it’s prohibited or something, but it’s the doubt of making something right and properly Greek.
