Description
From America’s Most Fascinating First Ladies
Each letter is written as historical fiction — a composition of historical facts and events from historic accounts.
“In every recipe lies a story, and in every story lies a lesson about the strength, grace, and wisdom of American women who helped shape our nation — one meal at a time.”
What Arrives Each Month
Every mailing includes a handwritten-style letter, printed on quality stationery. Alongside it, a collectible vintage-style recipe card adapted for modern kitchens, a pocket-sized shopping list, and a historic photograph. Many months also include bonus items — conversation starters, helpful notes, or surprise extras.
The Six Stories:
1. Nancy Reagan’s Monkey Bread — Anchored to Sunday morning, April 12, 1981 — the first morning Ronald Reagan was home at the White House after the assassination attempt
2. Dolley Madison’s Roast Beef with Madeira Sauce — August 24, 1814 evacuation of the White House — a victory dinner for forty that the British ate before burning the building.
3. Bess Truman’s Ozark Pudding — March 5, 1946 — Bess Truman stayed at the White House while Harry traveled to Fulton, Missouri with Winston Churchill, and listened to the “Iron Curtain has descended across the Continent.”
4. Jackie Kennedy’s Dinner for André Malraux— May 11, 1962 dinner for French Cultural Affairs Minister André Malraux — the evening that led, six months later, to the Mona Lisa being loaned to America.
5. Mary Todd Lincoln’s Gingerbread — Tad Lincoln’s recovery from typhoid in late February and March 1862.
6. Betty Ford’s German Apple Pancake — October 13, 1974 — two days after Betty Ford came home from Bethesda Naval Hospital.
