Book Synopsis
President John F. Kennedy's favourite fish chowder and First Lady Laura Bush's guacamole are among nearly 200 dishes chosen from the National Archives of the United States in this book of historical and modern-day recipes. This unique collection of recipes from the records of the U.S. Federal Government also includes dishes from U.S. school lunch programs, government-sponsored radio shows, and war-time recipes meant to conserve wheat, sugar, and meat. This book, inspired by the exhibition What's Cooking, Uncle Sam? The Government's Effect on the American Diet at the National Archives Experience in Washington, DC, also provides historical tidbits from the presidential files, including the transcript of President George H.W. Bush's speech in which he expressed his hatred of broccoli, and a description of the hotdog parties hosted by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt.
