Penguin Random House World Central Kitchen Cookbook, The

A great book for a great cause. WCK was founded by the extraordinary Chef Jose Andres in 2010 and since then they have been helping feed people in crisis all over the world. Often they are some of the first aid on the ground. All Author proceeds go to support their response efforts.

WCK’s first ever cookbook—a James Beard Foundation Award winner, Anthem Awards winner, and New York Times bestseller—gathers recipes inspired by many of the places our Relief Team has cooked following disasters and other crises around the world, as well as sharing inspiring narratives from the chefs, volunteers, and communities they’ve met along the way. 

Each chapter in Feeding Humanity, Feeding Hope reflects a World Central Kitchen value. “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,” you’ll find soups, stews, and comforting meals like Ukrainian Borsch served to families living through an unthinkable invasion and Chicken Chili Verde prepared for firefighters on the frontlines in California. 

The World Central Kitchen Cookbook: Feeding Humanity, Feeding Hope is full of recipes created for home kitchens and inspirational stories from chefs and local cooks who have fed millions of people impacted by disasters around the world. These recipes and experiences highlight resilience, community, and above all, hope.
