Slave James Hemings Introduced French Cuisine to America, author
Thomas J. Craughwell serves up a lively story with a generous
helping of culinary history....Thomas Jefferson’s Crème Brûlée is a
charming book that will appeal to both foodies and lay

“Craughwell provides a delightful tour of 18th-century vineyards
still in production, a look at French aristocrats just before the
Revolution and the France that paid little attention to the color
of a man’s skin...A slim but tasty addition to the long list of
Jefferson’s accomplishments.”
