"Cooking to the President's Taste" with Adrian Miller and Deborah Chang

Join the Clinton Presidential Center on Wednesday, May 20, at 6 p.m., during Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, when we will welcome two-time James Beard award winner and Clinton administration alumni Adrian Miller and culinary author Deborah Chang to discuss their book, “Asian Heritage Chefs in White House History: Cooking to the President’s Taste.” Their book is the first-ever history of the many Asian Heritage chefs who have prepared meals for U.S. presidents, paired with 60 recipes that can be made in a 21st-century home kitchen.

In “Asian Heritage Chefs in White House History: Cooking to the President’s Taste,” Miller and Chang explore the untold and often overlooked stories and contributions of Asian chefs within the presidential realm, including the White House, State Dinners, Presidential yachts, and Camp David. For many years, these stories have been left off the menu. This book uncovers a hidden chapter in America’s culinary history by sharing the stories of Asian heritage chefs.
