Michelle Obama’s Chef Cooks Healthy For the First Family
Sam Kass is probably the most important chef in America right now. He’s the man who makes sure the first family get all their daily nutrients while helping Michelle Obama make important decisions to shape her school lunch nutrition program as well as looking after the White House kitchen garden.
But it’s not about specific dishes and courses for Sam. In a recent interview with the Chicago Sun-Times, the 29-year-old chef dedicates himself to a rounded food philosophy. As the White House’s assistant chef and food initiative coordinator he has a hand in influencing policy with the Department of Agriculture, but his primary objective is to make sure he safeguards the health of the family he cooks for.
“I think enjoyment and pleasure is definitely obviously a wonderful component of eating, but the reason we eat is for nourishment No. 1, first and foremost,” Sam was quoted as saying by the Chicago Sun-Times. “So I try to make sure that the food is beneficial, that everything on the plate is beneficial and it is delicious. I also try to cook based on relationships as much as possible with the people who are growing the food and people [who are] involved in the process.”
When it comes to feeding the first family, Sam shared the ingredients for one of his citrus salads: watermelon radishes at the bottom, with carved oranges and grapefruit, crystal lettuce, lightly-candied Sicilian pistachios and honey citrus vinaigrette.
