A friend once said of Churchill: "He is a man of simple tastes; he is quite easily satisfied with the best of everything." But dinners for Churchill were about more than good food, excellent champagnes, and Havana cigars. "Everything" included the opportunity to use the dinner table both as a stage on which to display his brilliant conversational talents, and an intimate setting in which to glean gossip and diplomatic insights and to argue for the many policies he espoused over a long life.

In this riveting, informative, and entertaining book, Stelzer draws on previously untapped material, diaries of guests, and a wide variety of other sources to tell of some of the key dinners at which Churchill presided before, during, and after World War II.

No study of Churchill would be complete without this book. I would never have believed a food book would have this importance.

An enjoyable, perfectly-paced bio through the lens of Churchill’s passion for Britain, food and drink and his skills of diplomacy, much told with the backdrop of WW11. Davina Porter lends her expert narration, making this an overall great Audible experience.

Loved it. History, food, drink, and Davina!
