Did you know that a wheel of cheddar cheese weighing over 1400 pounds was served at a reception during Andrew Jackson’s presidency and that the White House smelled like cheddar cheese for weeks afterward?  You’ll find many fascinating food-oriented facts about the presidents as well as recipes at a blog called The History Chef. Maintained by Suzy Evans, who has a Ph.D. in history, the blog was started when Evans was writing a book about favorite foods of the American presidents.  She shares that her goal ” is to help parents and kids learn how to cook together, learn about history together, and hopefully help them create many great memories and meals together.”
