You won't read "White House Chef: Eleven Years, Two Presidents, One Kitchen" for the recipes, though it's kind of glamorous to think the "Lemongrass and Red Curry Dressing" you served over your vegetables last night was created for Nelson Mandela.

We, who all have our own go-to comfort foods, learn that a plate of sizzling steak fajitas can lift Hillary Rodham Clinton out of a funk, and that daughter Chelsea needed cooking lessons before heading off to Stanford.
