A plate of hope [audio-enabled device] : the inspiring story of Chef Jose Andres / written by Erin Frankel ; illustrated by Paola Escobar.

Frankel, Erin, (author.). Escobar, Paola, (illustrator.). Lambana, Luis Carlos de La, (narrator.). Playaway Products, LLC, (issuing body.).

Summary:

Jose Andres's love of cooking began as a young boy in Spain as he gathered the wood to make the fire that would cook the paella just right. Jose loved everything about it: the sizzling olive oil, the mounds of chopped vegetables, and the smell of saffron. When he left home, he realized he wanted to tell stories with food. And tell them he did, creating magic with the seeds of ripe tomatoes and pomegranates and cheese. His dreams grew until they were as big as the stars in the sky. He thought, No one should ever go hungry. I want to help feed the world-- and World Central Kitchen was born. From the earthquake in Haiti to the war in Ukraine and the Covid pandemic, Jose and his team at World Central Kitchen have been at the frontlines, serving more than 200 million meals and counting, and bringing comfort and hope in the darkest times. With a lyrical text and stunning illustrations, here is a picture book biography about a world-renowned humanitarian and chef that's sure to inspire a new generation of community helpers.
