The easy-to-follow recipes in this unique cookbook, many of which are made from readily available ingredients, allow the reader to treat friends and family to dishes favored by our first families and worthy of world leaders. In this food lover’s history of 20th century American cuisine, John R. Hanny shares delicious recipes as well as insights regarding each president and First Lady’s influence on White House cuisine. The Roosevelts favored dishes rich in cream while Jacqueline Kennedy brought a worldly sensibility to the table. Both the Johnsons and the Carters entertained in legendary Southern style.

Good recipes but blase layout

Part of learning something new is being able to keep your eyes focused on the text. Unfortunately, even with some of the titillating recipes, I found it very hard to follow it. There are no photos, no quick reference at the top of the page to which section I was in (i.e., Kennedy). HE should redo this book with photos to make it a keeper and a classic, like the recipes itself. By the way, meeting Mr. Hanny briefly, I can see why he has bloomed to 300 pounds. With recipes like these, one could sit around and easily gain weight just by looking at the food!

Wow, if you ever wanted proof that US Presidents are just folks like the rest of us, you'll love this look into the eating habits of White House denizens! Mr. Hanny's anecdotes and asides make the reading enjoyable even if you don't plan to try any of the recipes. This is not food for the timid or the health-nut. This is real American Fare. Wonderful book Mr. Hanny, I'm looking forward to more!
