An overview of food and entertaining in the White House, 1800-1953. Authored by Patricia B. Mitchell. Edited by Sarah E. Mitchell. Foreword by former White House chef Martin C.J. Mongiello. Published 2015. 60 recipes, 419 research notes, 237 + xii pages, including index. 6 x 9 inches, soft cover. ISBN-13: 978-1508953357. The President's dining habits have always been of interest to the public. What does the Commander-in-Chief like to eat? Are he and his wife extravagant in their tastes and expenditures, or modest? How does the First Family entertain? The purpose of this book is to tell a little about the history of the White House and its culinary department, and to shed some light on the dietary preferences and quirks of some of the Presidents and their families. Smile-producing stories, presidential food preferences, and evocative descriptions make Presidential Flavors a pleasure to read. Quotations add to the charm of the book. For example, the remark, "Why, I never get tired of having a good time" shows the attitude that enabled Lucy Hayes to adapt well to the social obligations which she was expected to carry out. By the mid-point of the nineteenth century, pretty Victorian foods and table settings were in vogue, and the White House tended to exhibit current trends. A bouquet at the place setting of each White House state dinner guest during the Pierce administration gave a hint of all that Victorian hospitality entailed. The bouquets " . . . were stiff and formal things, as big [a]round as a breakfast plate, and invariably composed of a half-dozen wired japonicas [small camellias] ornamented with a pretentious cape of marvellously wrought lace-paper." Traditional food storage and preparation techniques gave way to new ideas inspired by technology. Seasonings, manner of presentation and service, and menu complexity were changing. Grandness and grandeur were de rigueur at formal dinners. The "humanness" of President Cleveland is revealed in a dialogue involving his instructions to exchange his fancy dinner for the servants' bill of fare. (He wasn't trying to be noble - he preferred what they were having.) The dynamic personality of Theodore Roosevelt aptly foreshadowed the thrilling and tumultuous century ushered in by his administration. Technology was changing the way Americans cooked and the way war was waged. Electricity in the kitchen and aeroplanes in the sky - progress was accelerating at a startling speed. The American homemaker was offered labor- and time-saving appliances and equipment to ease her workload. Perhaps she could devote less of her life to housework. Maybe she could even work outside the home if the need or desire arose. What changes the 20th century held! The copious endnotes in Presidential Flavors are useful to scholars and anyone interested in additional worthwhile reading and research.

A sumptuous narrative history of presidential food--from Washington starving at Valley Forge to Trump's well-done steaks with ketchup--from the co-author of My Life in France. 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is perhaps the most important house in the world, which gives the food on the Commander-in-Chief's table unprecedented significance. What our leaders choose to eat, how the food is prepared and by whom, and the context in which these meals are served speaks volumes not only to the country, but often to the world at large. These gustatory messages touch on everything from personal taste (Jefferson's love of eggplant, FDR's terrapin stew, Nixon's daily lump of cottage cheese topped with barbecue sauce, Obama's arugula) to local politics, national priorities, global diplomacy, climate change, and war--not to mention race, gender, class, money, and religion. In The First Kitchen, Alex Prud'homme explores the fascinating stories of first families through the food they ate and served, and in doing so paints a unique picture of the institution of the presidency--and its place in American history.

Paul Cook- historian and author of Siege at the White House has once again covered literary ground where few writers dare to tip toe, much less tread. In this revealing irreverent accomplishment, he has established a report card by which all of the Presidents have been graded. What makes Presidential Leadership by Example so unique is that each Chief Executive is not so much graded according to their political achievements or failures in the White House, but according to their personal values and perception by others as a proper role model. The following questions are now answered with historical honesty regardless of how popular the President may have been with society. Did they lead by example? Did they practice in their personal lives what they preached in their political life? Who was a real hypocrite? Was their political ambition dangerous not only to themselves, but to their families and nation as well? So, sit back, relax and get ready to meet the Presidents and many First Ladies, as you have never seen them before and held accountable for their personal actions in their first presidential report card on ethics.

An NAACP Image Award Finalist for Outstanding Literary Work—Non Fiction James Beard award–winning author Adrian Miller vividly tells the stories of the African Americans who worked in the presidential food service as chefs, personal cooks, butlers, stewards, and servers for every First Family since George and Martha Washington. Miller brings together the names and words of more than 150 black men and women who played remarkable roles in unforgettable events in the nation's history. Daisy McAfee Bonner, for example, FDR's cook at his Warm Springs retreat, described the president's final day on earth in 1945, when he was struck down just as his lunchtime cheese souffle emerged from the oven. Sorrowfully, but with a cook's pride, she recalled, "He never ate that souffle, but it never fell until the minute he died." A treasury of information about cooking techniques and equipment, the book includes twenty recipes for which black chefs were celebrated. From Samuel Fraunces's "onions done in the Brazilian way" for George Washington to Zephyr Wright's popovers, beloved by LBJ's family, Miller highlights African Americans' contributions to our shared American foodways. Surveying the labor of enslaved people during the antebellum period and the gradual opening of employment after Emancipation, Miller highlights how food-related work slowly became professionalized and the important part African Americans played in that process. His chronicle of the daily table in the White House proclaims a fascinating new American story.

"An engaging book about life at the Executive Mansion. . . . Hillary Clinton had charged this fiercely competitive, meticulously organized chef with bringing 'what's best about American food, wine, and entertaining to the White House.' His sophisticated contemporary food was generally considered some of the best ever served there." --Marian Burros, New York Times White House Chef Join Walter Scheib as he serves up a taste--in stories and recipes--of his eleven years as White House chef under Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. Scheib takes readers along on his whirlwind adventure, from his challenging audition process right up until his controversial departure. He describes his approach to meals ranging from the intimate (rooftop parties and surprise birthday celebrations for the Clintons; Tex-Mex brunches for the Bushes) to his creative approach to bringing contemporary American cuisine to the "people's house" (including innovative ways to serve state dinners for up to seven hundred people and picnics and holiday menus for several thousand guests). Scheib goes beyond the kitchen and his job as chef. He shares what it is like to be part of President Clinton's motorcade (the "security bubble") and inside the White House during 9/11, revealing how he first evacuates his staff and then comes back to fix meals for hundreds of hungry security and rescue personnel. Staying cool under pressure also helps Scheib in other aspects of his job, such as withstanding the often-changing "temperature" of the White House and satisfying the culinary sensibilities of two very different first families.
