Hans Raffert
Hans F. Raffert (March 11, 1927 — March 3, 2005) was a German American chef who was White House Executive Chef from 1988 to 1992. He was the first White House chef to annually build a gingerbread house for the Executive Residence's Christmas holiday decorations.
==Early life and work==
Raffert was born March 11, 1927, in Hanover, Germany. His father was a baker, which sparked his interest in cooking.〔 At the age of 14, as was typical for boys in Germany at the time, he entered an apprenticeship, and chose cooking as a career. He worked four days a week, and spent two days in school. His apprenticeship ended in 1941 when he was 17. With World War II raging, he chose to enlist in the Kriegsmarine, the Nazi German navy. Enlisting meant that he would avoid being conscripted into the Wehrmacht, where he was much more likely to die. As a cook in the navy, he also avoided much of the hunger that afflicted the average German during the latter part of the war.
Raffert trained at a number of hotels and resorts in West Germany after the war. In 1951 he moved to Switzerland, but emigrated to Stockholm, Sweden, in 1952 in order to take advantage of the immense demand for chefs generated by the 1952 Winter Olympics in nearby Oslo, Norway. He spent the next seven and a half years in Sweden, working a various hotels. For three and a half of these years, he worked aboard cruise ships of the Swedish American Line, during which he made three around-the-world cruises.〔
After spending the summer of 1957 working in York, United Kingdom, he emigrated to the United States even though he spoke very little English.〔 He spent about a year working at hotels in New York City, including the Hotel McAlpin.〔 He then moved to Washington, D.C., where he spent eight years working as the ''chef de cuisine'' (executive chef) at the Hotel Washington.〔〔 He became a naturalized citizen of the United States in 1966.〔
