The World Central Kitchen Cookbook

The World Central Kitchen Cookbook is a celebration of food’s power to heal, comfort, and unite. Created by José Andrés’s beloved nonprofit, World Central Kitchen, this book gathers stories and recipes from chefs, local cooks, and celebrity supporters who have cooked for communities in crisis around the world. With a foreword by Stephen Colbert and contributions from voices like Michelle Obama, Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex, Marcus Samuelsson, Ayesha Curry, and Guy Fieri, its pages reflect hope, dignity, and resilience. From comforting Ukrainian Borsch to Chicken Chili Verde for California firefighters, each dish tells a story of humanity at the table. Stunning photography captures both global kitchens and the meals that nourish them. All author proceeds go directly to support World Central Kitchen’s emergency response efforts—making this more than a cookbook, but also a way to be part of something bigger.
