Book Review of Hail to the Chef!

Hail to the Chef!
reviewed on + 13 more book reviews


President Russell Kramer (portrayed by Jack Lemmon in the Warner Bros. film "My fellow American") thought he was a great cook and a pretty darn good President. Unfortunately, after one term the voting citizens of the United States decided he could better serve his country as a private citizen.

Most men would have been devasted by such a blow. But Russell Kramer wasn't most men. Throwing eggwhites in the face of tradition, he departed from the long line of heretofore unappetizing ex-Presidential memoirs and... wrote a cookbook.

Presenting... Hail To The Chef! A rich compendium of regional recipes accompanied by spicy anecdotes and peppered throughout with the wit and wisdom of former President Russell Kramer.
