Booklist - 01/17/2024 The humanitarian work of chef José Andrés gives new meaning to the term soul food, and this picture-book biography shines a welcome spotlight on his efforts to ease hunger around the world. Born in Spain, Andrés learned the joy of sharing food at the side of his parents, whose careers in nursing also taught him that “it was possible to make life better for others in big and small ways.” The book quickly traces Andrés’ training and successes as a chef before a devastating earthquake in Haiti compelled him to become involved in disaster relief, namely by providing care and community support through food. This would lead him to form the World Central Kitchen organization, which helps provide food to people facing major disasters. Readers will be inspired by Andrés’ boots-on-the-ground commitment to others’ well-being in the wake of hurricanes, volcanic eruptions, the COVID-19 pandemic, and, most recently, the war in Ukraine. Muted illustrations emphasize the warmth and comfort a good, home-cooked meal can bring, and the back matter includes a list of Andrés’ notable accomplishments. - Copyright 2024 Booklist.
