How Presidents are fed
- Sergei, tell us how they become the Kremlin's suppliers?Our cooperation began in 1999, when the first President of Russia Boris Yeltsin invited US President Bill Clinton to the Cafe Pushkin restaurant. After him, Vladimir Putin and Dmitry Medvedev were frequent visitors to our restaurants. Dmitry Anatolyevich and his wife Svetlana Vladimirovna liked our cuisine and service. After that, the protocol service of the President of the Russian Federation approached us with a proposal for cooperation. We had a chance to work in the halls of the Grand Kremlin Palace - Alexandrovsky, Andreevsky, Georgievsky and Vladimirsky.
- What was your first reception in the Kremlin?
Organization of celebrations on the occasion of the 65th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, which we spent on May 9, 2010 in the Grand Kremlin Palace. We have served 950 guests from all over the world, including war veterans. After that, we did many official receptions for 2 years. The menus for these events were developed by our chefs Andrey Makhov from the Cafe Pushkin restaurant and Michele Brogioni from Casta Diva.
- Apparently, Dmitry Anatolyevich remembered your kitchen?
Admittedly, he knows food. He prefers seafood and fish, knows a lot about good wines.
- Which of the techniques and what do you remember most?
Most memorable was the July 2009 reception in honor of Mr. Barack Obama, President of the United States, and his wife, Ms. Michelle Obama. Our chefs were supervised not only by employees of the special services of the President of Russia, but also by employees of the American Secret Service, who carefully watched how the dishes were prepared, especially those that went to the table of the first persons. And, of course, they sampled all the products.
- What did you feed Barack Obama?
We gave preference to Russian cuisine. So, for starters, they served a salad with Kamchatka crab meat, Russian borscht, which the President of the United States really liked, and beef stroganoff on mashed potatoes with black truffle. An interesting reception was held in honor of the Prime Minister of India, Mr. Manmohan Singh and his wife, Mrs. Gursharan Kaur. As you know, many Indians follow a vegetarian menu, so for breakfast we offered artichoke terrine, barley porridge surrounded by grilled mini vegetables and Chilean sea bass in honey sauce.
- Besides the Kremlin, did you have to travel somewhere else?
Yes, we held a very unusual event at the Zavidovo residence, where Dmitry Medvedev received the brother of the Cuban leader, Raul Castro. The last time before that, Raul and Fidel Castro were in Zavidovo more than 30 years ago. Then they were received by Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev. And the Cuban leaders remembered how, after the hunt, a wild boar was roasted for them on an open fire. This time Dmitry Anatolyevich also invited Mr. Raul Castro to hunt. We roasted a wild boar's leg, a variety of game, and, which Mr. Castro especially liked, lard, on an open fire.
- Do the first persons ask you for the recipes of the dishes they liked?
No. Although the wife of Dmitry Medvedev, Svetlana Vladimirovna, is often interested in various nuances. She has a special relationship with tea ceremonies, she is well versed in teas, experiments with various varieties, which include not only Chinese, but also some Krasnodar ones.
By the way, the bigwigs of Russian business, when they order events for you, ask you to cook "like Putin's" or "like Medvedev's"?
Sometimes it happens. Although each of our clients has their own preferences. For example, some people like Russian cuisine, while others prefer the Mediterranean.
- Do top officials show interest in your menu, try to correct them?
The top officials themselves do not interfere. If they have any comments, they pass them through the protocol service. In any case, we always start from one or another preference of the leaders of states. In principle, we prepare several menus for each event, so if some president or prime minister does not eat a particular dish, we always have something to replace it with. One of our advantages is the ability to quickly change the recipe on the spot.
- Where do you get your groceries?
We have our own reliable suppliers, time-tested, we usually take products from them. Unfortunately, good fish and meat have to be imported - the same steaks from America or Argentina or New Zealand lamb.
The traditional style of reception in Russia is a seated banquet. As far as I know, you prefer other formats.
We work in different formats, it can be a banquet, buffet table, cocktail, coffee break. But now events in the cocktail format are more in demand, which is the most common in the West and which Russia is gradually getting used to. It offers canapes, mini hot and cold appetizers, a variety of mini desserts, which are offered for snacks. People can move from one company to another, have a casual conversation with each other, the emphasis is on communication, rather than on the absorption of food. We closely follow the European trends in catering, where most events are held in a format that is usually called "discreet luxury".
- What about taste preferences - fish or meat, vodka or wine?
Recently, there has been a tendency to opt for seafood and wine. Most of our guests prefer vodka and meat in winter period and ordered at New Year's banquets.
- Kremlin cuisine has always been famous for its pastries. What can you offer?
We have a pastry laboratory, we have a great pastry chef Emmanuel Rion, he is a very famous French pastry chef. Monsieur Rion has the right to wear the French tricolor on all his suits - this is a sign of the highest professionalism, in the confectionery world as the Order of the Legion of Honor. Desserts for the confectionery "Cafe Pushkin" were developed under his leadership
- Do you consult with your foreign colleagues serving the top officials of the states?
We communicate, but this communication is informal. I will not hide the fact that there is some jealousy on their part. We are watching their work, they are watching ours. We are interested in what their leaders eat, what trends are emerging abroad, what changes in the serving and decoration of dishes, and then we urge our chefs to take all this into account.
“It’s important not only how to start a meal, but also how to end it. What secrets are there?
As a rule, all formal lunches or dinners last one hour. In our business, a lot depends on how well-coordinated the team of cooks, waiters and managers is. When the logistics are built correctly, each person is in his place, there are no problems. Then: if in our restaurants one table is served by one waiter, at receptions there are already three or four waiters, this reduces the time for serving dishes.
There are guests who have specific preferences. I just remembered how Muammar Gaddafi came to Moscow, who was allowed to pitch his tent in the Kremlin ...
Yes, there was a case. With him came a personal chef with his nomadic cuisine. When Gaddafi was in the tent, he fed him. But a special reception was in the Kremlin in the Alexander Hall, we had already organized it, and there we took into account the wishes of the Libyan leader.
Well, yes, he was a Muslim, and they do not drink alcohol. With Christians, probably, not everything is so simple either, especially when there is a fast. You seem to have worked with the Moscow Patriarchate as well?
We adapt to any guest of any religion. We work closely with protocol services, which explain what this or that leader eats, at what time, in what proportions. Based on this, we are preparing a menu. As for the Russian Orthodox Church, then we had a chance to arrange a tea party in the Patriarch's chambers in the Grand Kremlin Palace on the day of the Ascension of the Lord. Then this great holiday coincided with the Day of Slavic Writing and Culture, which is always celebrated in the State Kremlin Palace with a gala concert.
Finally, I cannot but ask this question. Still, the restaurants of the house of Andrei Dellos are traditionally considered elite establishments, as they say, not for everyone. How, then, can you expand your audience?
Elite, I agree. However, the same breakfasts at the Cafe Pushkin restaurant are quite affordable in terms of prices, just many people are embarrassed to come to us, thinking that they cannot afford it. We would like to dispel this formed self-image. The secret of Dellos Catering's success is that we are able to organize any event anywhere in the world, using only our own resources. We even have enough of our own waiters, and we do not invite from outside. This is important not only in terms of service, but also safety. That is why no one from the service staff at our receptions secretly photographs guests on a mobile phone, so that they can then be posted on the network.
Interviewed by Stanislav STREMIDLOVSKY
OUR PARTNERS
Political leaders' menus are rarely made public. They try not to spread too much about everything related to the private life of the country's leader. What do presidents, heads of government and kings eat? This can only be judged by their own confessions and by what they eat at dinner parties.
Juche diet
At the end of last week it became known that the leader of North Korea, Kim Jong-un, dialed excess weight because of the Emmental cheese. The head of the DPRK was so carried away by his favorite cheese that his health was shaken.
Former chef of the Kim family, Kenji Fujimoto, revealed that Kim Jong-un is also very fond of shark fin dishes. It was shark steaks that the head of the DPRK treated the former chef during his visit to the country in 2012.
Kenji Fujimoto, who fled North Korea to Japan back in 2001, noted that at the age of 14, Kim Jong-un drank vodka and could drink a whole bottle. At their last meeting, the DPRK leader drank sake.
American fast food
US President Barack Obama, as a true democrat, prefers simple food - fast food. In 2010, in Arlington, a suburb of Washington, Obama treated Dmitry Medvedev at Ray's Hell Burger. The American president then chose a burger with cheddar cheese, onions, lettuce, tomatoes and pickles. one for two Obama is keen on beer. In 2012, he set up a mini-brewery on the White House grounds, where he brews his own beer called White House Honey Ale. In addition, President's wife Michelle Obama after moving to the White House, she set up a vegetable garden on the lawn of the residence.Later it was reported that she managed to collect about 700 kilograms of vegetables.Michelle grows especially well broccoli, spinach, cabbage, lettuce and other greens.
In 2008, when Obama was still a Senator from Illinois, The New York Times published a list of his favorite and least favorite foods. It turned out that Obama is crazy about fried almonds, pistachios, MET-Rx protein bars with peanuts, milk chocolate and vegetables. And he doesn't take mayonnaise, chips, asparagus in his mouth. Obama does not use lemonades and other soft drinks - he prefers to drink food with plain water or tea.
Local specificity
Little is known about Vladimir Putin's taste preferences. The president himself once shared that he is not picky about food. "If there is a choice between meat and fish, I prefer fish, I like lamb from meat. In general, I am indifferent to sweets, not counting ice cream. When I come somewhere, I enjoy trying the local cuisine. I got used to green tea for a long time." told Putin.
In 2012, Putin had breakfast with NTV journalists. It turned out that the president of Russia in the morning eats porridge and cottage cheese with honey, washed it down raw quail eggs... In addition, Putin drinks a cocktail made according to his own recipe. Among the ingredients are beets and horseradish.
On his work trips, the president likes to try local dishes, dines in institutions Catering... In 2003 he ordered fish soup, pies with red caviar, smoked eel and pancakes with strawberries in the Kaliningrad cafe "By the Road".
In 2008, during a visit to Tatarstan, he ordered salad, chicken noodle soup, beef with rice and a pie in the dining room of the special economic zone "Alabuga". The food cost the president 37 rubles 60 kopecks.
In 2013, Putin, along with the Kuban combine operators, dined on borscht. It is not known what else the head of state was treated to at that time - the president asked the journalists to leave, explaining that it was "difficult to eat with appetite in front of the camera."
In Petrozavodsk in April this year, Putin said that he liked Karelian "gates" (small pies made of rye dough). He also noted the taste of Ossetian pies, chak-chak and Tatar belyasha.
The former wife of the president, Lyudmila Putin, on the other hand, argued that the president is picky enough in food and may refuse to dine if he dislikes the dish even a little. At the same time, Lyudmila Putina complained that the head of state never praises food, even if he liked it.
In 2010, the Kremlin chef Anatoly Galkin said that Vladimir Putin prefers wine or beer from alcohol. In addition, Galkin shared a recipe for a signature cocktail that the first persons drink at official receptions: a lot of ice, a drop of lemon juice, mint, syrup and 50 grams of champagne. According to the chef, this drink "quenches thirst extraordinarily."
The first president of Russia, Boris Yeltsin, did not hide his culinary preferences. He was very fond of meat, especially game, wild boars and venison. Anatoly Galkin recalled that the presidential family really liked dumplings with black caviar. Boris Nikolayevich also highly appreciated veal sausage with pistachios. But Yeltsin refused exotic dishes that were treated to the head of state at receptions abroad.
The ex-president preferred to drink strong alcohol, mostly vodka or quality cognac.
Draniki's mother-in-law
Another lover is simple national cuisine- President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko. "I prefer fish to meat, black bread to white, the menu always includes fruits, juices ... I love baked goods and ice cream very much. But with the latest delicacies, it's difficult: I have to limit myself. I ate a cake - be so kind, plow 3-4 kilometers on rollers or skiing ", - shared Lukashenka's recipe for longevity. The president's mother-in-law, Elena Zhelnerovich, said that during her visits she fed her son-in-law with pancakes, scrambled eggs, milk soups and potato pancakes. According to her, over the years, Lukashenka's food preferences have not changed at all.
Oatmeal, madam
At the end of July 2014, the annual ClubdesChefs meeting was held in London, which brings together chefs preparing for heads of state. As a result of the meeting, it became known about the culinary preferences of Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain. It turned out that she doesn't like shrimp and other seafood. But it does well with the traditional British dish - oatmeal, with which you start your day. Earlier, former royal chef Mark Flanagan said that Elizabeth II is very fond of potatoes. It happens that before going to bed, the queen drinks a glass of Dubonnet (a wine drink used as an aperitif). He prefers gin among spirits.
Not paddling pools
Rumor has it that the current French President Francois Hollande, unlike Nicolas Sarkozy, does not like artichokes. The previous president of the fifth republic, on the contrary, called his favorite dish pasta with artichokes, black truffles and foie gras. Sarkozy preferred to wash down his food with wine. During his reign, Sarkozy dined at a restaurant at the Le Bristol Hotel, located near the Elysee Palace. The price for a portion of his favorite dish at the time was 82 euros. At the same time, Sarkozy, unlike Kim Jong-un, hates cheese. The most refined tastes among French presidents were possessed by François Mitterrand, one of whose favorite dishes was fried garden oatmeal. Small birds are considered a delicacy in France. For oatmeal to gain weight, they are locked in dark boxes of millet, where the birds are continuously consuming their food. After that, they are drowned in Armagnac and fried. It is supposed to eat oatmeal without the help of cutlery, while you need to cover your head with a cloth, and take the bird with a napkin. It is believed that this is done in order to more fully experience the aroma of the dish. In 1999, the use of garden oatmeal in food was banned almost throughout the European Union, but in mid-September of this year it became known that several eminent French chefs asked for the ban to be canceled.
Frau Merkel's Christmas dinner
Angela Merkel is perhaps one of the few heads of state who talks in detail about her favorite dishes. The Chancellor of Germany also cooks with pleasure when she gives free time... Merkel is especially successful with potato soup, schnitzels and fish dishes. For Christmas, she prepares the traditional potato salad and goose roast.
The Bundeskanzler calls his favorite dish pork sausage with cabbage. Merkel also likes pasta bolognese and soups. Merkel's personal chef claims she is crazy about cheese. Among alcoholic beverages, Merkel, like many politicians, prefers wine, but sometimes she cannot deny herself a glass of beer.
The powerful of this world - the rulers of the state, probably have some kind of secret and, perhaps, it lurks in their gustatory habits - many members of the public believe there. But it's really interesting to know how the diet of kings, presidents and their entourage differs from the usual set of dishes of the average inhabitant of the planet. What are world leaders and presidents eating ?!
Bernard Vossion is the famous chef who opened the curtain on the kitchen of the world's most famous politicians in his book. Amazing facts from the culinary life of famous and influential people greatly excited the public. So, Vossion, talked about Nicolas Sarkozy's addiction to cheese platter, about Jacques Chirac, that he literally goes crazy, from snails and the smell sauerkraut as well as François Miitterrand, who grieves without seafood. We decided to continue the work of the chef and show you what they were feeding and feeding the top of power different countries and times. The review brings together leaders and the most eminent political figures from around the world.
Margaret Thatcher
Amazing woman who managed to climb three times to the post of Prime Minister of Great Britain, become the very first lady in such a position among European countries and break all the time management records of that time. The USSR gave her the name "Iron Lady".
As for the diet, the set of dishes in it and Margaret's taste preferences, for a long time this was an absolute mystery to the public. And only in 2010, when Thatcher's diary entries were published, did the dishes she ate during the 1979 elections become known. She was on a diet at the time, eating only eggs (boiled), salads, tomatoes, meat and grapefruits.
Evo Morales
A true hero of the state of Bolivia. For more than 4 centuries, Morales became the first ruler of Bolivia to be born on this land. Morales' views have always been conflicting with those of the rulers of the United States. Thus, the current Bolivian president strongly supported the legalization of the coca plant, which the United States is protesting against. In addition, Morales turned out to be radical in nutrition - he firmly believes that a chicken makes men homosexual ... He explains this by the presence of a large amount of hormones in the chicken.
He also actively criticizes the entire diet of Western cultures, justifying this frequent illnesses adherents of such a diet. Evo Morales himself loves quinoa soup - a recipe from his past poor life.
The only US president to have twice held this post and the post of vice president. None of the former and current rulers of the White House traveled to all 50 states of the United States, except for Nixon. He played an important role in the policy of reconciliation with the USSR, in the withdrawal of US troops from Vietnam and throughout public life Americans. His special addiction to food, which the public knew about during his reign - this is ketchup... Surprisingly, the politician used this seasoning almost everywhere.
So, one of his favorite dishes, cottage cheese with pineapple, was always abundantly seasoned with ketchup. It is known that it was this marvelous combination of taste that became Nixon's last dish at the White House. Nixon left office ahead of time because of the Watergate scandal.
Kim Jong Il
He died in 2011, remaining the "eternal president" of the DPRK to this day. This politician, according to many, repeatedly violated human rights in his public activities, was engaged in strengthening his own ideology, zombifying the population and other unpopular methods of government. However, the population called Kim Jong Il "the great leader".
He loved luxury, especially in his food.... According to his associates, the President of the DPRK has probably tasted all the dishes known to mankind. He was careful when initially giving away cooked food for tasting. Favorite dishes - papaya, caviar and pork .
The most shocking addictions of a Korean politician are This is the meat of a hippopotamus, snakes and spiders ... Also, Kim Jong Il I loved to drink expensive cognac.
Winston Churchill
Churchill is rightfully considered the most famous Briton in the world. This is the Prime Minister of Great Britain, who ruled during the difficult times of the Second World War. He had a great influence on the course of the then history and is still considered a hero with a whole list of awards.
The most famous Briton adored fiery speeches, which are still studied, quoted and republished in collections. He spoke beautifully during the meal - this was his favorite habit. That is why he was very demanding in the design and filling of the table. Churchill loved cheese, especially the Stilton brand, enjoyed roast game and was crazy about oysters..
The Briton's favorite dessert is ice cream with pieces of fruit. In general, Churchill was a supporter of French cuisine.
Barrack Obama
Barack Obama
The most powerful woman According to several Forbes publications, the current German Chancellor and a deeply respected person - this is who she is, this Angela Merkel. Her views have always met the mood of the public, she goes against the war, however, she is ready to sacrifice less for the sake of saving more. Some call her the "Teutonic Thatcher" for her temper.
However, unlike Margaret Thatcher, Angela Merkel eats completely different foods: kebab, barbecue, lecho salad, potato soup .
The Chancellor's favorite fish is trout, and Merkel prefers a creamy cake for dessert. Very often Angela Merkel talks about her childhood in East Germany, where at that time there was a huge shortage and problems with food. According to her, she had to stand in lines every day to feed herself. In addition, as a child, the most powerful woman on the planet sold blueberries with her friends.
Vladimir Putin
On the this moment- this is one of the most talked about politicians in the world, the president Russian Federation and a real man is a mystery. Putin has always kept the people intrigued, as for his taste preferences. The personal life of the President of the Russian Federation, his affections and habits remain a big secret for many, as for the politician's diet.
TO When a person rises to the pinnacle of power, in addition to a new office and other attributes of a high position, he is also entitled to a personal chef.
So Lyudmila Putina once cooked for her household herself. Now for the lunches, breakfasts and dinners of the President (as well as his family members), cooks from the Federal Security Service are responsible. Some cook for Putin at his home (these are several permanent chefs working in shifts), while others - in the so-called special kitchen.
A special cuisine is located in the Grand Kremlin Palace, where the tsars used to walk and where they cooked for the Soviet secretaries general. The products are passed through sophisticated radiometric and X-ray equipment. Ready-made first, second and third dishes for the President (or, as they call him in the FSO, the object) are delivered in special thermoses sealed with seals. If the seal (God forbid) falls off, this is an emergency. True, such incidents have happened only a few times in the entire history of the special cuisine.
The contents of these thermos flasks in the morning is buckwheat or oatmeal porridge with juice, tea or fruit to taste. The President dines modestly - soup, fruit, the main meal is in the evening. On ordinary days it is varied meat dishes, in the fast they are replaced by fish or beans, nuts and other plant foods. In general, Putin eats a little. He never drinks coffee. If the food has not been tested, the President is advised not to touch it at all. Therefore, when Putin, somewhere in the Russian outback, tastes either pickled cucumber or pickled mushrooms from hospitable grannies, the bodyguards strain every time.
Putin, like Lenin, loves wine and beer. The current President is a low drinker. At the same time, he prefers low-alcohol drinks: beer and wine. Sometimes Putin still uses Russian vodka. But only a glass or two, no more. And even then in the company of relatives and friends. And in the circle of unfamiliar people, the President can sip a glass of red wine all evening.
Vladimir Vladimirovich loves cuisines of many peoples of the world. When he served in the KGB, he appreciated German dishes. And the local pork legs with sauerkraut, by the way, not every stomach can do it. During his recent Asian visits, Putin paid tribute to the Japanese and korean food... In general, his tastes are very broad.
The gastronomic predilections of the leaders of the past and the present are a theme that always unleashes tongues in the Kremlin kitchen. Putin's wife loves flour products. Chernomyrdin loves only dumplings, Nemtsov - vegetables and a piece of meat, Lyubov Sliska - pies, Primakov - satsivi. Luzhkov eats home-made scrambled eggs, while Zyuganov prefers naval pasta and almost bread roll.
For Kremlin chef Mikhail Zhukov, who has been catering to the tastes of the Russian political elite for four decades in a row, each new culinary work is the product of long self-critical analysis and debate. Zhukov and his team of 30 prepare for all presidential banquets and receptions, and feed about 400 Kremlin employees every day.
One of his favorite "works of art" Zhukov gave the name "Mona Lisa": a baked turkey stuffed with bacon and plums and served with fruit. The chef is especially proud of his hit of the Soviet era: fish baked with mushrooms - he named this dish "Stenka Razin".
Fish baked with mushrooms
- 300 g fish (fillet)
- 100 g champignons
- 25 g butter
- 2 eggs
- 50 ml milk
- 20 g onions
- 10 g grated cheese
- 30 g tomatoes
- salt and spices to taste
Cut the fish fillet into slices and simmer. Cut onions into strips and fry on butter... The mushrooms are processed, boiled, and then cut into slices. The cocottes are greased with butter, a third filled with chopped slices of stewed fish, onion is placed on top, a layer of champignons is placed on it, everything is poured with milk sauce, sprinkled with grated cheese, sprinkled with melted butter and baked in an oven. When serving, the baked fish is eaten with chopped herbs.
What do the heads of state eat? What do they like to eat and who cooks for them? Favorite food of Putin, Merkel, Macron, Trump, Lukashenko, Poroshenko and Trudeau in one article.

6. Emmanuel Macron
According to the chef of the Elysee Palace Guillaume Gomez, Brigitte Macron asks not to serve her husband the so-called "junk food" (this is not only fast food, but also all kinds of sausages and other processed food). However, Emmanuel Macron has one weakness - he loves the cordon blue. For those who are not in the know, Cordon Bleu is a veal schnitzel (less often chicken or turkey) stuffed with cheese and ham in breadcrumbs.

7. Justin Trudeau
Handsome and at the same time the Prime Minister of Canada loves beer, Asian food and does not drink coffee. Why? “I just never could get myself used to coffee,” the prime minister admits. And he remembers his university days, when he tried to drink coffee in the hope of studying late - but in the end he fell asleep anyway. But fastfoot is not on the stop list: he eats both fried chicken and burgers.
As you can see from the article, the heads of state are ordinary people with common culinary addictions and weaknesses.
