Course Description

What do you get when you mix presidential history with food, chefs and cookery? A perfect recipe, and you don't even have to brush off your tuxedo to attend dinner with the president. Starting with George Washington cracking walnuts in his mouth to a shared love with Old Abe for corn cakes, this course features American presidents, White House kitchens and entertaining styles. The presidents have hosted some of the most significant moments in our history over meals at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., understanding the value of breaking bread with both friends and foes. The food served at the White House has long been part of the image the administration wanted to project. In a sense, the food served in the White House influences the nation’s economic, social, cultural and political climate. Food even has the power to bring together disparate parties for productive political debate. The course combines history, food information and humorous looks at the lives of our presidents.
