Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Alan Sklar's narration is a highlight, imbuing Thomas J. Craughwell's prose with a warm, engaging quality that makes every moment of this audiobook a pleasure to listen to. The story unfolds seamlessly, weaving together the details of James Hemings's training in French cuisine and Jefferson’s role in shaping early American culinary traditions. However, some sections feel overly detailed, which could detract from the overall pacing for less interested listeners. Despite this, the insights into Jefferson’s character and his ambitious quest to introduce European gourmet cooking to America are well worth the journey.
