Chef Julia Child comments on the new administration's Chefs, food, and service at the White House

Chef Child made her way through traditional cookery school as a first-ever woman enrollee.

Chef Julia Child loved to shop for fresh food and was a tremendous advocate for fresh markets.

Chef Child affected many of the Chefs in the White House as children, like Chefs Walter Scheib, Martin Mongiello, Jonathan Villaneuva, Cris Comerford, and Earaina Hahn. They watched her as children.

If Julia Child decides to give you, "the hammer," it can be enough to shake you down to your wishbone.

All of the team supporting the US Presidency worked hard to entertain in style, class and elegance. Having Chef Julia Child eating at a table was well understood to be a defining moment.

Five days after the luncheon, a letter arrived at the White House mentioning how things had been perfect during President Lyndon B. Johnson and First-Lady Bird Johnson. But, not since then...

Then First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton would work hard with the teams at the White House, Air Force One and the Camp David Resort to perfect her style of entertaining, hoping for success.

Hillary Clinton learned how to cook when she was young and asked for raw ingredients to be kept available for her, upstairs in the White House.

Hillary created endorsed American cuisine being served in the White House. She did not mind a small amount of French being used on menus, but certainly not the entire menu.

"In a departure from past practice, Mrs. Clinton said, the White House kitchen will emphasize American food rather than a French-style menu and restaurant chefs will be consulted." NY Times, 1993

Upon entering the house, the Clintons banned smoking and embraced Broccoli. They began naming food from where it came from in America, on the menu, and served US wines heavily.

All of the team that had worked so hard to make changes to the White House, source healthy cuisine via the Chefs and effectuate service by the Butlers - enjoyed these accolades.
