To celebrate President Obama’s Inauguration, I recreated his Lincoln-inspired Inaugural meal on my food blog, PhamFatale.com. The menu includes a Seafood Stew, Brace of Pheasant and Duck, Molasses Yams, Cranberry Apple Cinnamon Sponge Cake and Crème Glacee. The links include more pictures and recipes if you're interested in making them yourself.

Photos of the foods are provided below:

First Course: Seafood Stew, paired with a Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc.

Second Course: A Brace of American Birds (pheasant and duck), served with Sour Cherry Shallot Tomato Chutney, Green Peppercorn Truffle Sauce and Molasses Roasted Yams and Swee Potatoes Medley, paired with an Anderson Valley Pinot Noir.

Third Course: Cranberry Apple Cinnamon Sponge Cake and Sweet Cream Glacé, paired with a California champagne.

I hope you like these recipes as much as I enjoyed making them. I'll be posting a new recipe everyday, and I look forward to hearing your questions, comments and tips.

Bon Appétit!

Somehow focusing on the food, etc. makes it all seem more real.

For the first time in nearly a decade, the country has a reason to feel optimistic that something will be accomplished. Even getting to this point is a kind of accomplishment.

[-] is this a new White House chef? - Guest-

I really am curious, as I understand the past 8 years have been ... ahem ... somewhat circumscribed.

I look forward to more dishes (maybe an American lamb stew to come?) with this rustic charm!

[-] That's an amazing spread. - Guest-spookyttws

As a foodie (and a sous chef) I know I shouldn't be surprised by what the president eats, I just never really gave it much thought. It seems like the Sommelier was doing his/her job, but I'd venture a guess they were all a little drunk at the completion of service.
