Mrs. Reagan with White House Kitchen Staff
Drag & Drop to external system
This is a photograph of First Lady Nancy Reagan with White House Executive Pastry Chef Roland Mesnier and White House Executive Chef Henry Haller sampling dessert options in the White House Kitchen on June 24, 1982. Mrs. Reagan asked chefs to provide samples of potential desserts for major events beforehand. This photograph features a dessert that was not used until two years later for a State Dinner honoring the President of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka on June 18, 1984. The key dessert for that State Dinner was a nougat glace with fresh cherries and coconut ice cream in the shape of asparagus.

This photograph is part of a personal collection belonging to former White House Executive Pastry Chef Roland Mesnier. Chef Mesnier created elaborate desserts for the White House from 1980 to 2004.
