The former president was in the news in a different way, as his personal chef has compiled a new cookbook of Bush family favorites.
Former President Bush's personal chef compiles The Bush Family CookbookPORTLAND, Me. (AP) - Former president George Bush's personal chef remembers the time that Barbara Bush conspired with him to try to slip a broccoli salad past his boss.
As president, Bush famously proclaimed his disdain for the cruciferous vegetable, declaring that he never liked it since his mother had made him eat it as a child.
So readers of Ariel De Guzman's The Bush Family Cookbook may be surprised to find a broccoli salad as one of the more than 200 favourite family recipes included in the collection.
The salad, which combines broccoli with red onions, golden raisins, crumbled bacon and toasted sunflower seeds in a dressing of mayonnaise and vinegar, was a hit with everyone but Bush, who picked up the bowl only to pass it around to others for second helpings, De Guzman recalled.
But he said the ex-president's feelings about broccoli do not reflect a dislike for fresh vegetables and he is particularly fond of spinach, asparagus and snow peas.
Beyond sharing recipes enjoyed by the Bushes and their guests, the book tells the inspiring story of a young man from a small town in the Philippines who joined the U.S. navy and worked his way up from stewardsman aboard destroyer tenders to become Bush's personal steward in the White House.
