About this Item

This is a cookbook written by the wife of a United States Congressman. One might think a wife of a congressman would be too busy to write a cookbook, but the blurb on the back cover makes it clear that Janie Whitehurst was up to the task, even embraced it: "Being the wife of a United States Congressman is in many ways an exercise in survival. Anyone who has followed the fifteen year congressional career of G. William Whitehurst knows that he has an unpaid right hand at his side: his wife Janie. From state dinners at the White House and the Kremlin, to Big Macs on Air Force Two, Janie has worked with her husband in government, politics and private life to maintain a home and keep them both alive and well on a schedule that would stagger a marathon runner. Here are family recipes to entertain a vice president or prepare fast, healthy meals on a low budget - over 240 of them for superb and balanced home cooking. Here too are menus from sumptuous banquets, observations from trips to the Soviet Union and China, and many other countries; and loads of tips of survival in the fast lane. Candid, witty, and always fascinating, 'The Other Side of the House' is more than just a good cookbook - it's an interesting, amusing, and anecdotal compendium by one of the most competent people in American political life.
