"José Andrés is recognized for his delicious recipes and famous restaurants, but he is world-renowned for his humanitarian work. His gregarious, loving and worldly persona is unmistakable in this memoir. Andrés has lived many lives: from early cooking lessons in Spain with his mother to mastering his culinary skills in school and the Spanish navy. Immigrating to the U.S. in his 20s, he advanced from cooking in restaurant kitchens to owning over 40 restaurants. His love of good food and his moral integrity led to the establishment of his nonprofit, World Central Kitchen. His simple philosophy: “When people are hungry, send in cooks!” His belief that “food and water are a universal right” propels his organization to provide them to those in need. You will laugh, cry and salivate simultaneously."
