Click for more info First edition of this illustrated cookbook by the Bush family chef featuring many of the family’s favorite recipes, inscribed by the author, Ariel De Guzman: “From the Bush’s kitchen to your kitchen… happy cooking!” and additionally signed by President George H.W. Bush and First Lady Barbara Bush. In his foreword, President George H.W. Bush thanks Ariel De Guzman for his many years on the president’s staff—from his time as vice president, during his presidency, and afterward in Houston. In addition to featuring hundreds of Bush family—and White House—favorites, this volume also contains a recipe for “Jen’s Broccoli Salad.” Despite President Bush’s famous opposition to broccoli, De Guzman recalls Barbara Bush asked him to serve the salad anyway, at a buffet. She hoped it would reform the anti-broccoli President Bush but, Guzman confesses, President Bush only picked up the bowl of salad to pass it along for others to enjoy. A fine copy.
