Author: Thomas J. Craughwell. The Founding Father was traveling to Paris to serve as ambassador to France. Spices were limited. Vegetables were mushy and overcooked. Bread was stale. Although Jefferson had never sampled French cuisine, he had read about it, and he wanted to bring its secrets back to the United States.
