About the Book

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.
