A Humanitarian Mission

When it comes to cookbooks, The World Central Kitchen Cookbook by José Andrés is nothing short of extraordinary. This outstanding cookbook combines the art of cooking with a profound humanitarian mission, making it one of the most exciting cookbooks released this year.

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.

In total, you'll have eight chapters to explore, each one of them offering something different from the previous one.

Famous WCK supporters have shared recipes, 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.
