Cookin' with Congress

Eating Like Royalty Ep. 5: Charles II of Spain

Why was I drinking almost 20 cups of hot chocolate in a day? What does that have to do with a head full of water and a missing testicle? Find out on a subscriber exclusive episode of Eating Like Royalty. I have no one to blame but myself if I ever catch a case of the sugars.

Eating Like Royalty Ep. 4: Meghan, Duchess of Sussex

Meghan Markle may have her own TV cooking show now, and will she ever have me on as a guest star? No chance. But what did she eat like as an active member of the royal family? What was her daily diet? And how easily can you source these ingredients in rural Arkansas? All important questions I am answering here with this day of eating. I spent $3...

Your Weird Family Recipes

Coming your way: a new series!

I've been recreating some of the strangest recipes out there from real politicians -- ham mousse, frozen pear mayonnaise ice cubes, beef tongue in gelatin, crackerass. It's where Cookin' with Congress started and I never get tired of what fresh hell awaits me in a weird community cookbook from the 19...

Eating Like Royalty Ep. 3: Emperor Justinian I

*REUPLOADED - sorry for the whiplash and wait! Patreon tech issue.
This was a fun experiment to eat like an ANCIENT royal, but I’ll probably stick to more modern royals from now on just because the documentation is there. We really know how King George III or Princess Diana or Megan Markle ate, but back this far, it’s best guesses based o...

Eating Like Royalty Episode 2: King George III

The King of England during the American Revolution was….sad? He struggled with mental illness later during his reign but even before that, his meals were waaaay less majestic than I expected. Almost makes you feel bad for all the tea-dumping.

Should I post ALL my CwC episodes here?

I'm considering uploading not just the paid-subscriber-exclusive videos (Eating Like Royalty, etc) here, but all my video episodes (about 3 per week). Any thoughts?? I feel like most of you are watching on TikTok or Instagram or YouTube, but would it be better to have it all here too?

Eating Like Royalty Episode 1: Princess Diana

First in a new series! Eating like Royalty: Princess Diana. This was fascinating. Diana struggled with anorexia and bulimia nervosa for years, but this daily diet is after the darkest days of her past were behind her. Pulled much of it from biography and McGrady’s interviews. Love this soup recipe, maybe I’ll share it?? Also, this is my firs...

Politics is COOKED.

Hi! You've probably found me here from TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, NPR, Food & Wine and probably not by googling "best Mitch McConnell recipe for my child's birthday party" but that too would somehow take you straight to me.

Patreon is one of many places, but I'm going to make it THE place, to become a paid subscriber to Cookin' with C...
