The High on the Hog series on Netflix was nothing short of amazing featuring food and African-American history.
James Hemings was an elite Paris trained chef and also an enslaved person at Monticello.
One episode of the series features one of Hemings’ proud ancestors making his mac n cheese his way at Monticello. One easy take away which we now feature in our mac n cheese is to add some milk to the water when boiling the noodles. Not only is it delicious that way, it makes us feel good performing an homage to an incredible American and tradition.
