Here is a great cookbook to add to your collection!
The White House Cookbook
The Revised & Updated Centennial Edition
This paperback book from 1996 is in good but used condition for its age. There is a ding at the bottom edge of the cover and a few pages with just a little wear to the front and back covers from use and re-shelving. No cracks in the spine. INSIDE the pages are at least 99% free of any marks, stains or writing.
Original 1890s Recipes complete with updated low-fat, quick versions. Features illustrations, photographs, and household hints from the original edition.
This cookbook has something for everyone, from history buffs to healthy eaters. The authors have taken recipes from the original White House Cookbook used 100 years ago in the Grover Cleveland era, and updated them to meet the nutrient needs of people today- low in fat but high in convenience and taste. For example, corn pudding (originally made with eggs, heavy cream and butter) becomes Centennial Corn Casserole, with half the fat and calories. Also of interest are cookie recipes from Barbara Bush and Hillary Clinton, which have been lightened up. (I thought the "light" version of Hillary's cookies tasted better than the original!) In addition to healthy recipes, there is a wealth of interesting historical information about cooking in the White House 100 years ago and a touch of humor with health hints from the past (hair restorer tonic, cures for colic, etc). This book is a great recipe source, as well as an interesting read.
