From a Cat House to the White House - The Story of an African-American Chef (Paperback)

From the Cat House to the White House: The Story of an African-American Chef is the fascinating autobiography of a ninety-year-old African-American who was born in a sharecropper cabin in North Carolina, taught to cook by the madame of a brothel, and ended up chefing for President Gerald Ford, Frank Sinatra, George Burns, Bob Hope, Elizabeth Taylor and other celebrities. His signature dish was a lemon meringue pie and his memoir includes recipes for it and other very special dishes.
