Alex Prud'homme (born 1961) is an American journalist and the author of several non-fiction books. Prud'homme collaborated with his great aunt Julia Child on the book My Life in France (Alfred A. Knopf, 2006), her memoir of discovering food and life in postwar Paris and Marseille. The book became a number one New York Times best-seller, and inspired half of the 2009 movie Julie & Julia, starring Meryl Streep as Julia Child. In 2007, the book won the Literary Food Writing award from the International Association of Culinary Professionals (IACP). Prud'homme previously wrote, with co-author Michael Cherkasky, Forewarned (Random House, 2003), about terrorism. He followed that with The Cell Game (HarperCollins, 2004), about the ImClone scandal; The Ripple Effect: The Fate of Fresh Water in the Twenty-First Century (Scribner, 2011); and Hydrofracking: What Everyone Needs to Know (Oxford University Press, 2014). Returning to Julia Child a decade after her memoir, Prud'homme wrote The French Chef in America: Julia Child's Second Act (Alfred A. Knopf, 2016). The paperback is now available (Anchor Books, 2017). With photo curator Katie Pratt, he published France is a Feast: the Photographic Journey of Paul and Julia Child, a selection of Paul Child's photographs from 1948 to 1954 (Thames & Hudson, 2017). In 2023, he published Dinner With The President: Food, Politics, and a History of Breaking Bread at the White House. The author "invites readers into the White House kitchen to reveal the sometimes curious tastes of twenty-six of America's most influential presidents, how their meals were prepared and by whom, and the ways their choices affected food policy around the world. And the White House menu grew over time - from simple eggs and black coffee for Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War to celebratory turtle soup after, and squirrel stew for Dwight Eisenhower to jelly beans and enchiladas for Ronald Reagan and arugula for Barack Obama. What our leaders say about food touches on everything from our nation's shifting diet and local politics to global trade, science, religion, war, class, gender, race, and so much more. He also details overlooked figures, like George Washington's enslaved chef, Hercules Posey, whose meals burnished the president's reputation before the cook narrowly escaped to freedom, and pioneering First Ladies, such as Dolley Madison and Jackie Kennedy, who used food and entertaining to build political and social relationships. Prud'homme shows that food is not just fuel when it is served to the most powerful people in the world. It is a tool of communication, a lever of power and persuasion, a form of entertainment, and a symbol of the nation. Included are ten authentic recipes for favorite presidential dishes." Includes a joint chapter on Thwodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing. Michael Lionstar (Author photograph) (illustrator).…
