One of the innovations of the Obama campaign of 2008 had a surprising culinary angle. The campaign’s famous fundraising and "person-to-person" dinners took place in people’s homes, in restaurants, and in hotels, and ranged from the humble to the extravagant. The Obama Menu includes not only the menus and dinner plans from these events, but also the stories, first-hand accounts, photographs, and recipes. The result is a unique view of this American candidate for president — from a culinary perspective.

Highly recommended reading for anyone curious about the life of an American president
July 10, 2009
Perhaps the most unusual and unique books written about President Barack Obama, "The Obama Menu: Dining With Barack Obama" is a chronological compilation of dinner engagements he has had from 2001 through 2007. Laced throughout with culinary quotes from President Obama, "The Obama Menu" also includes occasional menus and recipes for dishes that were served him in people's homes, in restaurants, and in hotels. These dining occasions ranged from the simple to the elaborate. Here are anecdotal stories, black-and-white photos, and a unique perspective of what his life is like from a culinary point of view. An original and inherently fascinating read, "The Obama Menu" is highly recommended reading for anyone curious about the life of an American president in the making over these past few years.
