Oh I do love Menon! We used his cookbook often at the Governors Palace in Williamsburg, since the inventory for Ld Botetourt listed it.
We've made the chocolate tart a few times for special occasions. Did you know that there is some evidence that the British officers ate all their chocolate before the surrender at Yorktown? Not going to give it to those filthy rebels!!
Lara! I love this comment! I love Menon, love Viard and Carême, too. What fascinating creators! I did not know that the British officers ate all of their chocolate before their surrender but I love it! I love when you bring me knowledge like this!
