Dinner with the president : food, politics, and a history of breaking bread at the White House / by Prud'homme, Alex,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Perhaps the most significant meals in the world have been consumed at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue by the presumptive leaders of the free world. Thomas Jefferson had an affinity for eggplant and FDR for terrapin stew. Nixon ate a lump of cottage cheese topped with barbecue sauce every day and Obama regularly had arugula. Now, Alex Prud'homme takes us to the dining tables of the White House to look at what the presidents chose to eat, how the food was prepared and by whom, and the context in which the meals were served, making clear that every one of these details speaks volumes about both the individual president and the country he presided over. We see how these gustatory messages touch on not only sometimes curious personal tastes, but also local politics, national priorities, and global diplomacy-not to mention all those dinner-table-conversation-taboos: race, gender, class, money, and religion. The individual stories are fascinating in themselves, but taken together-under the keen and knowledgeable eye of Prud'homme-they reveal that food is not just food when it is desired, ordered, and consumed by the President of the United States"--

What I ate in one year : (and related thoughts) / by Tucci, Stanley,author.;
"Sharing food is one of the purest human acts." Food has always been an integral part of Stanley Tucci's life: from stracciatella soup served in the shadow of the Pantheon, to marinara sauce cooked between rehearsals and costume fittings, to homemade pizza eaten with his children before bedtime. Now, in 'What I Ate in One Year', Tucci records twelve months of eating--in restaurants and kitchens, on film sets and press junkets, at home and abroad, with friends, with family, with strangers, and occasionally just by himself. Ranging from the mouthwateringly memorable, to the comfortingly domestic, to the infuriatingly inedible, the meals memorialized in this diary are a prism for him to reflect on the ways his life and his family are constantly evolving. Through food, he marks--and mourns--the passing of time and the loss of loved ones, and prepares himself for what is to come. Whether it's canard à la orange eaten with fellow actors and cooked by singing Carmelite nuns, steaks barbecued at a gathering with friends, or meatballs made by his mother and son and shared at the table with three generations of his family, these meals give shape and add emotional richness to his days. 'What I Ate in One Year' is a funny, poignant, heartfelt, and deeply satisfying serving of memories and meals and an irresistible celebration of the profound role that food plays in all our lives.
