Synopsis

El amor de José Andrés por la cocina comenzó cuando era un niño en España, mientras recogía la leña para hacer el fuego que cocinaría la paella perfecta. A José le encantaba cada aspecto: el chisporroteo del aceite de oliva, los montones de vegetales frescos picados, y el olor del azafrán. Cuando se fue de casa, se dio cuenta de que quería contar historias con comida. Y lograría contarlas, creando magia con las semillas de tomates y granadas, con almendras y queso. Sus sueños crecieron hasta que eran tan grandes como las estrellas en el cielo. Pensó: nadie debería pasar hambre. Quiero ayudar a alimentar al mundo. Y así nació World Central Kitchen. Desde el terremoto en Haití hasta la guerra en Ucrania y la pandemia de Covid, José y su equipo en World Central Kitchen han estado en primera línea, sirviendo más de 200 millones de comidas y brindando consuelo y esperanza en los momentos más oscuros. Con un texto lírico e impresionantes ilustraciones, aquí hay una biografía ilustrada sobre un chef y humanitario de renombre mundial que seguramente inspirará a una nueva generación de ayudantes comunitarios.

Jose Andres has been in the news lately due to the murder of 7 of his aid workers in Gaza by the IDF.

Jose Andres is so worthy of a children’s biography. The award winning audio is lush and emotional to listen to. However, I do feel I missed the whole experience not having the illustrated work to accompany it. I may revisit my rating once I get my hands on the hardcopy, from my next order.......more

Inspiring biography about a very cool but less-known figure. Jose Andres is a Nobel Prize nominated chef who has brought food around the world to people who need it. The text is uplifting, the illustrations are a little too digital, but the overall impact is felt. The scenes of busy kitchens (in all......more
