White House Cookbook

by Hugo Ziemann

White House Cookbook Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

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 versions — 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 recipes is complete with nutrition 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
  • Raspberry-Peach Trifle
Offering a unique glimpse into America's past, the centennial edition of the White House Cookbook includes original 1890s' 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.

Synopsis:

The most tasteful text to come out of the White House in the last 100 years, The White Cookbook arrives just in time for the 1996 presidential election. The original 19th-century American standard (first sold through the Sears Roebuck catalog), this edition has been modified for today's tastes and health and time constraints. 125+ recipes. Photos & illustrations.

Synopsis:

Original 1890s Recipes complete with updated low-fat, quick versions. Features illustrations, photographs, and household hints from the original edition.
