In "Lincoln's Table", A President's Culinary Journey from Cabin to Cosmopolitan, the author, Donna D. McCreary, has complied over 125recipes enjoyed by the Lincoln family. From his boyhood home in Kentucky and Indiana to the elegant dining room of the White House, these foods nourished Mr. Lincoln. Blended with the recipes and menus are intimate glimpses into the home life of the Lincolns. There are stories about their entertaining and the love the Lincolns felt for their family.
The recipes range from rustic Corn Bread and Rail Splitters and the Gingerbread Men his Mother made, to the delectable Mary Todd Courting Cake and French chef inspired menus from the Presidential years.
It is a book that anyone with interest in recipes, Lincoln or cooking in general should try to get.
