Book Passage and Left Bank Brasserie are thrilled to welcome veteran writer and food expert Alex Prud'homme as he presents his latest gastronomic investigation, Dinner with the President: Food, Politics, and a History of Breaking Bread at the White House. 

The book is a wonderfully entertaining, often surprising history of presidential taste, from the grim meals eaten by George Washington and his starving troops at Valley Forge to Trump’s fast-food burgers and Biden’s ice cream—what they ate, why they ate it, and what it tells us about the state of the nation—from the coauthor of Julia Child’s best-selling memoir My Life in France.

As Alex speaks, you will dine on a selection of recipes prepared from the book by local favorite Left Bank.
