英文简介:
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 best-selling 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 foe: Thomas Jefferson’s nationbuilding 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, how their meals were prepared and by whom, 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 and celebratory turtle soup after and squirrel stew for Dwight Eisenhower, 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, science, religion, 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, who used food and entertaining to build political and social relationships.
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, a form of entertainment, 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
中文简介:
一部非常有趣、常常令人惊讶的总统品味史,从华盛顿和他在福吉谷饥饿的军队吃的难吃的饭菜到特朗普的快餐汉堡和拜登的冰淇淋——他们吃什么,为什么吃,以及它讲述了什么我们关于国家的状况——来自朱莉娅·柴尔德畅销回忆录《我在法国的生活》的合著者美国历史上许多最重要的时刻都发生在用餐时,美国总统与朋友或敌人一起吃面包:托马斯·杰斐逊在新首都华盛顿特区举行的建国招待会;尤利西斯·格兰特 (Ulysses S. Grant) 为夏威夷国王举办的国宴;泰迪·罗斯福 (Teddy Roosevelt) 与布克·华盛顿 (Booker T. Washington) 的开创性晚餐;理查德·尼克松练习用筷子撬开中国;吉米·卡特 (Jimmy Carter) 的蛋糕和馅饼促进了以色列和埃及在戴维营的缓和。
在这里,Alex Prud’homme 邀请读者进入白宫厨房,揭示美国 26 位最有影响力的总统有时令人好奇的口味,他们的饭菜是如何准备的,由谁准备的,以及他们的选择如何影响世界各地的食品政策。
白宫的菜单随着时间的推移而增加——从南北战争期间为亚伯拉罕林肯准备的简单鸡蛋和黑咖啡,以及之后为德怀特艾森豪威尔准备的庆祝海龟汤和炖松鼠,到为罗纳德里根准备的软心豆粒糖和辣酱玉米饼馅,以及为巴拉克奥巴马准备的芝麻菜。
我们的领导人关于食物的言论涉及方方面面,从我们国家不断变化的饮食和地方政治到全球贸易、科学、宗教、战争、阶级、性别、种族等等。
Prud’homme 还详细介绍了被忽视的人物,例如乔治·华盛顿的奴隶厨师赫拉克勒斯·波西 (Hercules Posey),他的饭菜在这位厨师侥幸逃脱自由之前为总统赢得了声誉,还有先驱第一夫人,例如多利·麦迪逊 (Dolley Madison) 和杰基·肯尼迪 (Jackie Kennedy),他们利用美食和娱乐来建立政治和社会关系。
Prud’homme 在将这些故事编织在一起时表明,当食物供应给世界上最有权势的人时,食物不仅仅是燃料。
它是沟通的工具,是权力和说服力的杠杆,是一种娱乐方式,是民族的象征。
包括 10 种最受总统喜爱的菜肴的正宗食谱,例如: 玛莎·华盛顿的樱桃脯 亚伯拉罕·林肯的姜饼人 威廉·H·塔夫脱的比利贻贝汤 富兰克林·罗斯福的反向马提尼酒 伯德·约翰逊夫人的佩德纳莱斯河辣椒
