Synopsis

When Katherine Miller was first asked to train chefs to be advocates, she thought the idea was ludicrous. But she quickly learned that chefs and other leaders in the restaurant industry are some of the most powerful forces for change in our troubled food system. Chefs are leading hunger relief efforts, supporting local farmers, fighting food waste, confronting racism and sexism in the industry, and much more.

In At the Table, Miller shares the essential techniques she developed for the James Beard Foundation's Chefs Boot Camp for Policy and Change. Listeners will learn how to focus their philanthropic efforts; pinpoint their audience and develop their argument; recruit allies and support action; and maybe most importantly, grab people's attention in a crowded media landscape.

Miller also shares the moving stories of chefs who used these skills to create lasting change. Chefs from around the country pushed Congress to provide financial relief to the restaurant industry at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

At the Table is filled with inspiration for anyone who has ever wanted to make a difference outside the four walls of their restaurant.

I’ve read a lot of books about women struggling through their twenties, this is a book about the whole family struggling through life - and it is stunning.

„She always desperately wanted to have a family yet she has never really understood how they work.“ Claire Powell savo romane neišranda nieko naujo, bet jį skaityti nuo to ne ką mažiau malonu.

i like the concept but felt it lacking in execution and commitment. the family dynamics were interesting so i wished there were more scenes of them as a family. i also liked the characters and their individual struggles because it shows more of their personality, adding to the verisimilitude of the......more
