Story Farm

In the book, you will find distinct recipes and stories representing all 50 states that were either adapted by myself or submitted by Democrats and Republicans who have all served our nation in some way.

United We Eat is more than a cookbook. It is a tool to show that food is a nonpartisan way to bring Americans together and find common ground. Furthermore, each entry aims to illuminate the tastes, culture, and history of each state—and in the process, help tell at least part of the American story through food.
