A captivating collection of stories and recipes from renowned chefs,
local cooks, and celebrity friends of José Andrés's beloved nonprofit
World Central Kitchen (WCK), which feeds communities impacted by natural
disasters and humanitarian crises; with a foreword from Stephen
Colbert.
In their first cookbook, WCK shares recipes inspired by the many places
they've cooked following disasters as well as inspiring narratives from
the chefs and volunteers on the front lines. Photographs captured
throughout the world highlight community and hope while stunning food
photography showcases the mouthwatering recipes.
Each chapter reflects a value of the organization. "Urgency" focuses on
food that can be eaten on the go, including the Lahmajoun Flatbread
served after a devastating explosion rocked Beirut in 2020. In "Hope,"
readers will find soups, stews, and comforting meals such as Ukrainian
Borsch served to families living through an unthinkable invasion and
Chicken Chili Verde prepared for California firefighters. Famous WCK
supporters have shared recipes too, like Breakfast Tacos from
Michelle Obama and a Lemon Olive Oil Cake from Meghan, The
Duchess of Sussex. Other contributors include Marcus Samuelsson,
Ayesha Curry, Reem Assil, Brooke Williamson, Emeril
Lagasse, Tyler Florence, Guy Fieri, Sanjeev Kapoor, and
Eric Adjepong.
The World Central Kitchen Cookbook: Feeding Humanity, Feeding Hope is
a celebration of dignity and perseverance--and about building longer
tables, not higher walls. All author proceeds from The World Central
Kitchen Cookbook will be used to support World Central Kitchen's
emergency response efforts.
