Eleanor Roosevelt hired an inex- perienced housekeeper to oversee the White House kitchen, resulting in barely edible meals like Jellied Bouillon Salad and Eggs Mexican (rice topped with bananas and fried eggs). Roosevelt often was traveling across the country to campaign for minimum-wage laws and equal pay for women, and food was the last of her concerns. She also developed an interest in the burgeoning field of home econom- ics, in which food was utilitarian, and the priority was cost and nour- ishment, not taste or enjoyment. Shapiro does find some cases, though, in which Roosevelt did enjoy food, and they all took place outside of the White House. At a weekend in the country with some women friends, she wrote that she enjoyed making salads and set- ting a pretty table. For an intimate friend and former bodyguard, Earl Miller, she happily baked biscuits and made him an apple- sauce cake. When she wasn't "the President's wife," Shapiro writes, Eleanor Roosevelt "learned what food could mean when love did the cooking." The book's afterword includes Shapiro's effort to reconcile her own experience with food. She married in the 1970s and moved with her husband to India, where she was surprised to find her- self desperate to fill a traditional domestic role of cooking American dishes for her husband. "It was a wonderful time to be a feminist," she said. "So there I was, a very happy, hard-working femi- nist. I found myself married and plummeted back into the 1950s, which was not an image or a world that I ever wanted to be in." Soon she learned to master veg- etable curries and fried veggie pak- oras, based on recipes in the Time- Life book The Cooking of India. Like the six women she profiles in What She Ate, Shapiro learned that understanding her relation- ship with food could help untangle other anxieties about career, family and the meaning of home. • "What emerges most vividly in Eva's relationship to food," author Laura Shapiro writes, "is her powerful commitment to fantasy. She was swathed in it, eating and drinking at Hitler's table in a perpetual enactment of her own daydreams." "What is wrong with being obsessed with trivia?" Barbara Pym asked in her notebook.
