In the Kennedy Style: Magical Evenings in the Kennedy White House by Letitia BaldrigeMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a very nice behind-the-scenes look at entertaining in the Kennedy White House written by Jackie's social director Letitia Baldrige and René Verdon, chef for the White House during the administrations of John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson. Baldrige talks about the context and arrangements, such as the first event, an event at George Washington's Mt. Vernon, entertaining the Nobel laureates including a controversial Linus Pauling. Verdon delivers the details on each course of several events; not only recipes but also explicit directions and advice. This is all immersed in numerous full-color photographs in a large-sized hardcover.
