George Crum and the Saratoga chip  Cover Image Book Book

George Crum and the Saratoga chip / by Gaylia Taylor ; illustrated by Frank Morrison.

Taylor, Gaylia (Author). Morrison, Frank, 1971- (illustrator.).

Summary:

Growing up in the 1830s in Saratoga Springs, New York, isn't easy for George Crum. Picked on at school because of the colour of his skin, George escapes into his favorite pastimes--hunting and fishing. Soon George learns to cook too, and he lands a job as a chef at the fancy Moon's Lake House. George loves his work, except for the fussy customers, who are always complaining! One hot day George's patience boils over and he cooks up a potato dish so unique it changes his life forever. This spirited story of the invention of the potato chip is a testament to human ingenuity and a tasty slice of culinary history.
