SUMMARY:Author Talk - Alex Prud'homme
DESCRIPTION:Writer Alex Prud'homme will discuss his recent book Dinner with 
 the President. The book is a narrative history of American food\, 
 politics\, and twenty-six presidents\, from George Washington starving at 
 Valley Forge in 1777 to Donald Trump's burger banquets\, and Joe Biden's 
 "performance enhancing" ice cream in 2022. The White House is the most 
 important home in the world\, and the meals served there communicate many 
 things: the meals our leaders eat\, who prepares and consumes them\, and 
 the context of presidential gatherings semaphore one set of signals\; the 
 Chief Executive's food policies send a different set of signals. Taken 
 together\, these messages touch on everything from personal nutrition to 
 the evolution of American taste\, local politics\, global diplomacy\, 
 climate change\, war\, race\, class\, gender\, and the like. \n\nAlex 
 Prud'homme is a freelance writer whose work has appeared in The New York 
 Times\, The New Yorker\, and other publications. He is the coauthor of 
 Julia Child's best-selling memoir\, My Life in France. He lives with his 
 family in Brooklyn\, New York and spends summers on MDI.
