We Fed an Island de José Andrés

We Fed an Island: Cărți de gestionare a crizei

Autor José Andrés
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 sep 2019

Descoperim în We Fed an Island o mărturie scrisă din urgența necesității de a acționa atunci când sistemele oficiale eșuează. José Andrés nu a scris această biografie pentru a-și celebra succesul culinar, ci pentru a expune realitatea brutală din Puerto Rico după uraganul Maria și pentru a oferi un manifest despre cum ar trebui să arate ajutorul umanitar modern. Motivația sa este clară: indignarea în fața birocrației care lasă oamenii să sufere de foame în timp ce resursele stau blocate în depozite.

Observăm cum autorul trece de la rafinamentul din lucrările sale anterioare, precum Tapas sau Made in Spain, unde celebra bucătăria spaniolă ca artă și stil de viață, la o abordare mult mai viscerală și politică. Dacă în Vegetables Unleashed explora creativitatea culinară, aici mâncarea devine un instrument de supraviețuire și demnitate. Ca și José Feeds the World de David Unger, această biografie transformă documentele, mesajele și conversațiile de pe teren într-o narațiune alertă, însă José Andrés adaugă o dimensiune critică profundă la adresa modului în care marile organizații gestionează dezastrele.

Apreciem onestitatea cu care este descrisă transformarea unor paellas gigantice în simboluri ale speranței. Ritmul este cel al unei cronici de front, unde logistica hrănirii a mii de oameni devine o formă de rezistență. Cartea nu este doar o înregistrare a faptelor, ci o lecție despre puterea comunităților locale de a se organiza mai eficient decât structurile guvernamentale rigide, oferind o perspectivă unică asupra umanității în momente de criză extremă.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

The bestselling true story of how a group of chefs fed hundreds of thousands of hungry Americans after Hurricane Maria and touched the hearts of many more
Chef José Andrés arrived in Puerto Rico four days after Hurricane Maria ripped through the island. The economy was destroyed and for most people there was no clean water, no food, no power, no gas, and no way to communicate with the outside world.
Andrés addressed the humanitarian crisis the only way he knew how: by feeding people, one hot meal at a time. At the same time, he and the other chefs also confronted a crisis with deep roots, as well as the broken and wasteful system that helps keep some of the biggest charities and NGOs in business.
Based on Andrés’s insider’s take as well as on meetings, messages, and conversations he had while in Puerto Rico, We Fed an Island movingly describes how a network of community kitchens activated real change and tells an extraordinary story of hope in the face of disasters both natural and man-made, offering suggestions for how to address a crisis like this in the future.
Jose Andres is the founder and chairman of World Central Kitchen, the NGO behind #ChefsForPuertoRico, and co-founder of ThinkFoodGroup, which has more than thirty restaurants around the world. Andrés is a Michelin-starred, James Beard Award–winning chef, and was twice named among Time’s “100 Most Influential People.” He is also the author of several cookbooks in English and Spanish.

Recenzii

“A manifesto asking governments and nonprofit groups to rethink the way they feed people after a natural disaster…as close to a page-turner as current-affairs nonfiction gets.”

Descriere

FOREWORD BY LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA AND LUIS A. MIRANDA, JR.
The true story of how a group of chefs fed hundreds of thousands of hungry Americans after Hurricane Maria and touched the hearts of many more
Chef José Andrés arrived in Puerto Rico four days after Hurricane Maria ripped through the island. The economy was destroyed and for most people there was no clean water, no food, no power, no gas, and no way to communicate with the outside world.
Andrés addressed the humanitarian crisis the only way he knew how: by feeding people, one hot meal at a time. From serving sancocho with his friend José Enrique at Enrique’s ravaged restaurant in San Juan to eventually cooking 100,000 meals a day at more than a dozen kitchens across the island, Andrés and his team fed hundreds of thousands of people, including with massive paellas made to serve thousands of people alone.. At the same time, they also confronted a crisis with deep roots, as well as the broken and wasteful system that helps keep some of the biggest charities and NGOs in business.
Based on Andrés’s insider’s take as well as on meetings, messages, and conversations he had while in Puerto Rico, We Fed an Island movingly describes how a network of community kitchens activated real change and tells an extraordinary story of hope in the face of disasters both natural and man-made, offering suggestions for how to address a crisis like this in the future. 
Beyond that, a portion of the proceeds from the book will be donated to the Chef Relief Network of World Central Kitchen for efforts in Puerto Rico and beyond.
