Dinner with the President: Food, Politics, and a History of Breaking Bread at the White House by Alex Prud'homme
challenging
informative
slow-paced
4.0
I found the book incredibly interesting, but also rather challenging to read. And that wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.
My biggest grievance, though, is the title and the way the chapters are broken down. It implies so heavily that the president is the one at the heart of the decisions when it was almost always the First Lady. In some ways it felt like the chapters should’ve been framed around the women instead of their husbands.
