    Thomas Jefferson's Creme Brulee

    $ 19.95

    This culinary biography recounts the 1784 deal in which Jefferson promised his slave and cook James Hemmings freedom, in part due to Hemmings mastery of French cuisine. The founding father, a well known Francophile, was traveling to Paris and brought the slave  along “for a particular purpose”— to master the art of French cooking.

    Hemmings mastered recipes such as pasta, French fries, and crème brûlée. Written by Thomas J. Craughwell. Hardcover, 256 pages.
