The World Central Kitchen Cookbook: Feeding Humanity, Feeding Hope

The World Center Kitchen (WCK) will release its first ever cookbook titled, “The World Central Kitchen Cookbook: Feeding Humanity, Feeding Hope,” (September 12, 2023) featuring recipes inspired by many of the places their 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.  WCK has numerous important programs including emergency food relief, a climate-related humanitarian response program & Chef Corps, a global network of culinary leaders. Learn more at: http://wck.org.

“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.”

Incredible 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 who have continually championed WCK’s work 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 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.

You can pre-order The World Central Kitchen Cookbook now, and it will be available on September 12.

All author proceeds from the book will support WCK’s emergency response efforts.
