A study has revealed that two of the UK’s most successful bakers and cooks who were once contestants on TV shows live in Bucks. The study, which was conducted by magnet.co.uk, ranked contestants based on the number of restaurants or bakeries they’ve owned, number of books they ve published, number of TV appearances, number of Michelin restaurants they ve owned or worked at after the show, number of Google searches between 2017 and 2021, estimated earnings for a sponsored post on Instagram, and the different areas of the food industry they have ventured into (for example, owning a cookery school, offering catering services, etc).
Africans first came to Virginia in 1619, and various documents dating to the next several decades refer to “quartering negroes” on plantations. Because the African population was still relatively small, it is unlikely that prior to 1675 housing was designed and constructed specifically for these laborers. As their numbers grew, however, such quarters became the norm. In 1686 the French traveler Durand de Dauphiné noted this recent development in describing the type of housing that he observed: “Whatever their rank … they build only two rooms with closets on the ground floor, & two rooms in the attic above; but they build several like this, according to their means. They also build a separate kitchen, a separate house for the Christian slaves, one for the negro slaves, & several to dry the tobacco.”
