    Fun, excellent book
  

*by G***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2016*

A fun book focusing strictly on food, meals and cooking at Monticello and Paris. Interspersed is a bio of both Jefferson and James Hemings, along with many others in Virginia and Paris. In this day and age of super markets, microwave, restaurants, we have very little concept of growing our own foods, creating our own meals or hosting large important dinners. Everything back then was made from scratch, there were no boxes to buy. James joined Jefferson in Paris to learn French cooking. While in France, Jefferson paid James 50% more than the head chefs of other homes and they came to an agreement that when the two returned to America, James would train a new chef the fine art of French cooking and would gain his freedom. This happened 6 years after  the return.Again, a fun book.A slice of Jefferson's life that cannot be dealt with in regular biographies.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars
