Publishers Text

First published during Grover Cleveland's second term 100 years ago, the original White House Cookbook represents a time when cooks spent all day in the kitchen and obesity was considered a sign of good living. Now it's been revised and updated with low-fat, no-fat, fast, and delicious recipes shown next to the original version--including recipes from Hillary Clinton and Barbara Bush.

The dishes in the first White House Cookbook were filled with cream, eggs, and salt. The updated versions are much quicker and healthier, and each new recipe is completed with nutritional analysis and exchange information. The more than 125 delectable creations include: Sparkling Strawberry Spritzer, Blueberry Teacakes, Spicy Seafood Gumbo, Cilantro Chicken with Black Bean Salsa, Presidential Pork Loin Picante, Grilled Halibut with Citrus Sauce, Sicilian Veal and Peppers over Rice, Sweet Potato Souffle, and Raspberry-Peach Trifle.

Offering a unique glimpse into America's past, the centennial edition of the White House Cookbook includes original 1890's illustrations and photographs, as well as amusing household tips and health suggestions--such as how to avoid a cold, make your own hair dye, wash feathers, and make dresses "incombustible." This fascinating book also features early tips on table etiquette and the menu for a typical state dinner at the White House 100 years ago.

The White House Cookbook is a must for anyone with an appetite not only for history, but also great-tasting and healthy American food.
