Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Presidents Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, and Reagan enjoyed Haller's services as executive chef at the White House. His anecdotes are blended here with recipes served to each family, his own personal favorites, and scaled-down recipes for state events. The recipes cover a wide range: the Johnsons' barbecued ribs, Nixon's farewell breakfast hash, Reagan's favorite macaroni and cheese, Haller's crepes gruyere. The text sometimes verges on the obsequious, but the anecdotes are surprisingly interesting, even entertaining. For larger collections. SP

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Recipes, Fascinating Stories

OK, I just got this book today and haven't had time to go through all of it, but I already have to say I LOVE it! The tips at the beginning are the same things my mother taught me so I know they work! The recipes are well written, easy to follow and there are several I will try. What is even better is the insight into each First Family's personalities and lifestyles, and the bits of White House history that are scattered throughout the book. I am inspired not only to cook but to learn more about some of these interesting people from days gone by. This book definitely personalizes the White House and reminds us that its occupants are mere mortals, just like the rest of us. A really lovely, useful and interesting book.

If you expect to find not only very good recipes, but also good anecdotes about Families at the White House, this is a book for you! A wonderful book for everyone who's interested in gastronomy. Besides you will find easy recipes for everyday cooking and also some others not so easy but surely to have in mind for certain ocasions.I love cook books and I have almost a "library" in my kitchen and with no doubts, this is one of the best books I have.I totally recommend it to you!

Quite a good book , information from the old white house cook book was cool. I liked how some of the recipes were easy to make some of the recipes are slightly more time consuming and a lot of chopping up the veggies / herbs.

I purchased this for my 9 year old grandaughter, Teagan who aspires some day,to become a chef in the White house and cook for the President.( That's after she first tours the world sampling various types of food. )However, her twin sister Tia, has other ideas for her future. "Tiggy" loves the book and the fact that it is signed by the author. And there are so many wonderful recipes inside for her to explore, as well.
We both thank you for an awesome cookbook.

White House Family Cookbook by Henry Haller is a book that highlights the culinary career of Henry Haller during his years serving as a White House chef for the Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, and the Regan families. Information is also generously given as to what some of the favorite dishes were of the families and an excerpt such as a recipe for Homemade Bread Loaf for the Johnson family. There is also more information on Henry Haller on the Gerald Ford foundation website where Haller discusses learning and perfecting his skills in cooking some time before he moved from Switzerland to America.
