With love of great cuisine and the bounty of our nation evident in each of these recipes, Capitol Hill Cooks contains recipes from members of the current Congress, as well as every president from George Washington (Cranberry Pudding) to Barack Obama (Shrimp Linguini). Taste Senator Charles Grassley's Mustard Sauce, the late Senator Edward Kennedy's Cape Cod Fish Chowder, or Olympia Snow's Baklava.and many more. Many contributors to this book even include notes about their ethnic backgrounds, favorite indigenous foods, and fond memories of meals shared with others.
Bauer (Great American Sampler Cookbook: Recipes from the White House & Congress) includes recipes, ranging from simple to advanced, from members of Congress as well as every President from Washington to Obama—e.g., Tortilla Soup (Sen. Tom Udall), Missouri Apple Soup (Sen. Christopher Bond), Kenyan Vegetable Curry (President Obama), Breakfast "Brains and Eggs" (Sen. Howard Coble), and Kahlua Chocolate Fudge Cake (Vice President Biden). Some of the recipes are the same as those found in Bauer's Sampler, but the majority are new and reflect the current Congress. Recommended as a good American cookbook and for its historical value.

Capitol Hill Cooks: Recipes from the White House, Congress, and All of the Past Presidents
This cookbook is a lot of fun! Each section has a brief essay upfront. A lot of wit here--and a passion for cooking and devising tasty recipes. Each recipe has a story; here again, considerable wit. For instance, the section entitled "Waffling toward Dinner." Putative breakfast dishes. But the author notes that one can enjoy breakfast dishes at midnight. Do your dining thing!
A couple recipes in the first section: "Buttery polenta with Parmesan and olive oil fried eggs." Ingredients: polenta, water or chicken broth, salt, butter, pepper, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, eggs, and sea salt for garnish. The recipe isn't hard to make either! Another intriguing recipe: "Soft scrambled eggs with pesto and fresh ricotta." I really enjoy the juxtaposition of ingredients in many of the author's dishes. She is like a mad scientist, who experiments with and tweaks recipes. The second section is referred to as "The Farmer's Market and Me." It starts off with "Extra-sharp leeks vinaigrette." After a delightful essay (1 1/2 pages long) we get the recipe. I like leeks, and this is a new way for me to consider preparing them. Look forward to trying this one out!
"Learning to like fish" is another section. I have used capers with Chicken Piccata. Here, capers become important ingredients for "Shrimp for a small kitchen--with capers, lemon, and feta. An interesting combination of ingredients. The next section? "It tastes like chicken." One tasty recipe. . . . "Roasted chicken thighs with peaches, basil, and ginger." I have made chicken schnitzel quite a bit over time. I use a tomato based sauce as a topping. Clark's schnitzel is way different--and I look forward to trying her version out. It features anchovy, garlic, salt and pepper, lemon zest, olive oil, eggs, bread crumbs, flour, cayenne pepper, nutmeg, chicken cutlets, oil for frying, mixed baby greens, herbs, and scallions.
And so on. . . . A delightful cookbook. What I've tried, I've liked. And there are many more that I look forward to fixing for my family. . . .
