Wanted: new chef for White House

AVOCADO and heirloom tomato salad beneath a spicy, toasted cumin dressing. Tiny bay scallops, lightly caramelised, folded into a risotto and served with lobster sauce.

A roasted rack of lamb. A chef who can pull this off just might have a future in the White House kitchen.

The search is on for a White House chef who can do it all, from simple munchies for the president to elaborate state dinners featuring America's best.
