(Ad*).That Palace in Washington is both the title of this book and a quotation from Rachel Jackson, wife of Andrew Jackson, our 7th president. — Mrs. Jackson was expressing her distress at the prospect of living in the White House.
The first eleven administrations (from John Adams to Zachary Taylor) are covered in That Palace in Washington. (George Washington did not reside in the White House.) — The other administrations will be discussed in additional books.
Anecdotes, quotations, recipes, and an informative narrative make this an educational volume; and the authoress adds touches of humor in the relating of some home-life incidents in the “Palace.”
Both elaborate recipes like “A Boned Turkey” and homestyle dishes such as “Batter Cakes” are included, and information about presidential food preferences is given.
