Thomas Jefferson's Creme Brulee: How a Founding Father and His Slave James Hemings Introduced French Cuisine to America by Thomas J. Craughwell

3.0

I was really excited at what this book professed to be, and in part I guess it delivered. But it tells more story abut Thomas Jefferson than the slave he dragged to Paris who is the person who learned to cook French cuisine and bring it back to America. However, it was an enjoyable, if not slightly misleading, book.
I would recommend it as a non fiction read for those who love food and history and I guess a little bit of French and American history as well.
