White House Noshes: What Presidents Really Eat

Jefferson ate capon, Eisenhower craved squirrel soup and Grant
had a habit of throwing bread across the table. This week, we go
into the White House with Alex Prud’homme to hear culinary
stories from presidential history, like how Julia Child charmed
her way into a state dinner and why Eleanor Roosevelt may have
used Jell-O salad to get revenge on FDR. Plus, the late Raghavan
Iyer reflects on curry, Indian cuisine and his legacy as a
culinary educator; Alex Aïnouz experiments with AI in the
kitchen; and we learn a recipe known as “killer spaghetti.”
