Thomas Jefferson, after returning from a trip to France, wrote down this recipe for his favorite light, airy French cookies so his cook could make them to serve with ice cream. The culinary cravings of a founding father are profoundly more touching to me than any 30-by-34-foot banner, even one that flew over Fort McHenry...
