However it's the Obamas' cooking habits that are proving most controversial.
正是总统奥巴马的烹饪方式引发了网友的热议。

The chili recipe contains all the usual ingredients: onions, garlic, ground beef, tomatoes and red kidney beans, but it's the addition of red wine vinegar that is creating a stir.
这则菜谱包括了所有传统的配料：洋葱，大蒜，牛肉酱，番茄和红芸豆。但备受争议的是：总统先生还加入了新配料——红葡萄酒醋。

One commentator, Dina Fraioli, writes: 'this is SO NOT how you make chili.'It's not even chili! There's hardly any chili spice in it! I want a super hot, hot, hot chili. I expect more President Obama!'
有网友（Dina Fraioli）这样写到：“这根本不是做辣椒酱的方法。这里面一点辣椒的辣味都没有，我认为辣椒酱应该非常非常辣！我对奥巴马总统有更大的期待。”

However, Mary Johanna defends the President with: 'There are probably a thousand different ways to make a chilli, so why don't you whiners all chill out.
而支持者（Mary Johanna）表示：“有上千种做辣椒酱的方法，抱怨的人们应该冷静下来。”

While PorterfieldsFineArt says: 'I like Obama's whole page. But I'm more interested in what Michelle might pin.'
其他的网友（PorterfieldsFineArt）说：“我喜欢奥巴马的页面。但是我对第一夫人米歇尔会贴什么更好奇。”

As well as cooking, the page taps into the nation's love of animals. On the pet lovers' page, supporters browse photos of the President enjoying some downtime with the family's Portuguese water dog Bo.
除了烹饪外，总统的Pinterest也迎合了人们对动物的喜爱。在宠物爱好者的页面，支持者们浏览总统在休息时间和他的宠物——葡萄牙水犬Bo的互动照。
