Book Synopsis Eat Like A President by : Dan Landrigan
Download or read book Eat Like A President written by Dan Landrigan and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-02-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An entertaining cookbook that tells the story of the six New England presidents during their stays in the White House. Along with 30 of their favorite recipes, Eat Like A President describes how they treated the servants who made their food as well as their attitudes toward servitude and slavery. You'll also learn how the White House evolved from an unfinished 36-room house where John and Abigail Adams dwelt to the Kennedy's elegant showplace. You may find yourself sympathizing with the first couple as they tried to stay out of war and improve the economy -- while dealing with family troubles, a dilapidated home and the endless rounds of dinners and receptions. There is tragedy and humor in their stories, from the disastrous presidency of Franklin Pierce to Calvin Coolidge's hilarious battles with his servants. There's uplift, too. Chester A. Arthur redeemed himself toward the end of his life; John Quincy Adams vindicated his ineffective presidency with his fight against slavery. And there's food -- 30 recipes for presidential appetizers, entrees, desserts and beverages. They include classic Yankee cuisine, like JFK's fish chowder and Abigail Adams' poached salmon with egg sauce. There are several state specialties, too, like White Mountain Rolls from Franklin Pierce's native New Hampshire, Calvin Coolidge's Pork Apple Pie from Vermont and Abigail Adams' Plymouth Succotash. But there are also aspirational foods that show off the president as the leader of a great nation. They include Louisa Adams' Plums in Wine Jelly and Chicken Croquettes, Chester A. Arthur's Turtle Soup and Jackie Kennedy's Souffle Froid au Chocolat. "Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are," wrote the French gourmand and politician, Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin. Eat Like A President tells you what six presidents ate -- and who they were.

Book Synopsis Dinner with the President by : Alex Prud'homme
Download or read book Dinner with the President written by Alex Prud'homme and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2024-02-20 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A wonderfully entertaining, often surprising history of presidential taste, from the grim meals eaten by Washington and his starving troops at Valley Forge to Trump’s fast-food burgers and Biden’s ice cream—what they ate, why they ate it, and what it tells us about the state of the nation—from the coauthor of Julia Child’s bestselling memoir My Life in France "[A] beautifully written book about how the presidential palate has helped shape America. . . . Fascinating."—Stanley Tucci Some of the most significant moments in American history have occurred over meals, as U.S. presidents broke bread with friends or foes: Thomas Jefferson’s nation-building receptions in the new capital, Washington, D.C.; Ulysses S. Grant’s state dinner for the king of Hawaii; Teddy Roosevelt’s groundbreaking supper with Booker T. Washington; Richard Nixon’s practiced use of chopsticks to pry open China; Jimmy Carter’s cakes and pies that fueled a détente between Israel and Egypt at Camp David. Here Alex Prud’homme invites readers into the White House kitchen to reveal the sometimes curious tastes of twenty-six of America’s most influential presidents and the ways their choices affected food policy around the world. And the White House menu grew over time—from simple eggs and black coffee for Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War to jelly beans and enchiladas for Ronald Reagan and arugula for Barack Obama. What our leaders say about food touches on everything from our nation’s shifting diet and local politics to global trade, war, class, gender, race, and so much more. Prud’homme also details overlooked figures, like George Washington’s enslaved chef, Hercules Posey, whose meals burnished the president’s reputation before the cook narrowly escaped to freedom, and pioneering First Ladies, such as Dolley Madison and Jackie Kennedy. As he weaves these stories together, Prud’homme shows that food is not just fuel when it is served to the most powerful people in the world. It is a tool of communication, a lever of power and persuasion, and a symbol of the nation. Included are ten authentic recipes for favorite presidential dishes, such as: *Martha Washington’s Preserved Cherries, *Abraham Lincoln’s Gingerbread Men, *William H. Taft’s Billy Bi Mussel Soup, *Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Reverse Martini, *Lady Bird Johnson’s Pedernales River Chili
Download or read book Abigail Adams written by Woody Holton and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Bancroft Prize The New York Times Book Review, Editor’s Choice American Heritage, Best of 2009 In this vivid new biography of Abigail Adams, the most illustrious woman of the founding era, Bancroft Award–winning historian Woody Holton offers a sweeping reinterpretation of Adams’s life story and of women’s roles in the creation of the republic. Using previously overlooked documents from numerous archives, Abigail Adams shows that the wife of the second president of the United States was far more charismatic and influential than historians have realized. One of the finest writers of her age, Adams passionately campaigned for women’s education, denounced sex discrimination, and matched wits not only with her brilliant husband, John, but with Thomas Jefferson and George Washington. When male Patriots ignored her famous appeal to "Remember the Ladies," she accomplished her own personal declaration of independence: Defying centuries of legislation that assigned married women’s property to their husbands, she amassed a fortune in her own name. Adams’s life story encapsulates the history of the founding era, for she defined herself in relation to the people she loved or hated (she was never neutral), a cast of characters that included her mother and sisters; Benjamin Franklin and James Lovell, her husband’s bawdy congressional colleagues; Phoebe Abdee, her father’s former slave; her financially naïve husband; and her son John Quincy. At once epic and intimate, Abigail Adams, sheds light on a complicated, fascinating woman, one of the most beloved figures of American history.

Book Synopsis The President's Kitchen Cabinet by : Adrian Miller
Download or read book The President's Kitchen Cabinet written by Adrian Miller and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2017-02-09 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique perspective on the White House, one of the most readily identifiable structures in the world, brings together the views of librarians, journalists, political advisers, attorneys, researchers, and professors. Filled with anecdotes, little-known facts, and scholarly analysis, the book shows how "The People's House" has been shaped and molded both architecturally and philosophically by the different administrations over the past 200 years. Erudite and entertaining, Life in the White House looks at the social history of the first family, the creation of the president's home, and efforts by first families to carve out a space for the important business of family, while preserving the history of their famous residence. This public museum and private residence, which began as the result of a $500 Jefferson-era architectural design contest, now symbolizes one of the world's great superpowers.
