Thomas Jefferson's Cook Book
"When it comes to the pleasures of the table Jefferson possessed                 extraordinary, undisputed taste. Oddly, however, this aspect of his nature is                 mentioned only tangentially by his biographers, if at all.... The most comprehensive                 work yet compiled on Jefferson's gastronomic adventures is Marie Kimball's Thomas                 Jefferson's Cook Book.." -- Craig Claiborne, New York Times"A concise and possibly definitive essay on Thomas Jefferson's                 contribution to American cuisine takes 26 pages in Thomas Jefferson's Cook Book....                 All of the recipes are intelligently adapted for today's kitchen by Marie Kimball."                 -- Travel and Leisure"While Jefferson didn't cook, he did love eating and made it a habit to                 collect recipes during his frequent visits to France.... The historical information                 makes fun reading." -- Washington Post--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
