Culinary Conversations

Thomas Jefferson knew that food has the power to bring people together. With fine cuisine, meaningful conversations flow, creating the perfect environment for cultural diplomacy.

Join Monticello in bringing culinary history forward and experience a dynamic event series, Culinary Diplomacy at Monticello. In partnership with The Culinary Diplomacy Project, this program explores the intersection of history, food, and diplomacy.

In our second Culinary Conversation, meet and hear from renowned Chef Aarti Sequeira as she reinterprets Jefferson-era recipes and shares her own global culinary experiences. Plus, savor a tasting of her specially-crafted dish inspired by the theme.
