At the table with
Dwight D. Eisenhower.

THE HISTORICAL TABLE

Ike did more than ask what was for dinner

Eisenhower’s preserved recipe collection includes dishes he developed himself, among them beef stew and vegetable soup. Records of his tastes also include steak, while Mamie’s deep-dish apple pie belongs to the family’s dessert story. This was a table with a president interested in the cooking.

Our stew scales the idea to one household pot. The steak keeps another recorded preference in easy reach. Apple crumble adapts the family’s warm apple-dessert tradition with a simple topping, useful when you want dessert without making pie pastry.
