Thank you to NetGalley and Ecco for providing an eARC in exchange for a review of this book. I enjoyed reading the short and meaningful stories about lessons learned in José Andrés life. I read about his early life growing up in his home country Spain, how he got to DC through his first restaurant Jaleo, how he built and learnt from a community of people in DC and the US, what he learnt from volunteering at DC Central Kitchen which inspired him to start the World Central Kitchen and what organizing to feed people looks like during a crisis. Overall, I thought this book was quite insightful and helpful in sharing unique life lessons.

Jose Andres is a role model a true humanitarian reading his book was so inspiring. A perfect book to enjoy and learn from.This is a book I will be recommending.#NetGalley #ecco

Jose Andres deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. No one can argue against that because you would be arguing against feeding people.

Andres was lucky to figure out early in life that feeding people was his mission. In the past decade, he has exponentially expanded his mission to feed millions in the face of war and natural disaster.

“Change the Recipe” is a collection of the lessons he has learned along the way and how to implement them into your own life. I especially enjoyed the insights into his younger days.

I would recommend this book for upcoming graduates or anyone looking to find purpose in their lives. A grand initial gesture is never needed to change the world. Start small, start local and it will grow and flourish from there.

Thank you to NetGalley and Ecco for the opportunity to read and review.

Change the Recipe is one of those great "gift books" for recent graduates or, really, for anyone who's feeling stuck in life. Full of wisdom derived from memories throughout his life, José Andrés shares with us how to take that much-needed deep breath and figure out who we are, what we're meant to do and how to pursue our dreams. Everyone needs a copy of this on their bookshelf to pick up and read during a rough week.
Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this free ARC in exchange for an honest review.

José is one of my favorite chefs in the world right now, and this book full of his observations on life and ruminations therein is an excellent insight into his beautiful mind. Simultaneously motivating and helpful. Great for some daily mantra fodder.

"A unique collection of life lessons from renowned chef and humanitarian José Andrés.

José Andrés is a chef, an entrepreneur, an author, a television host, and a tireless humanitarian leader across the globe. A Michelin-starred chef with more than forty restaurants, José is also the founder of World Central Kitchen, a nonprofit dedicated to feeding the hungry in the wake of natural and man-made disasters. His lifetime of experience - from kitchens to conflict zones - has given him a wealth of stories and teachable moments that are funny, touching, and insightful, all animated by the belief that food can bring us closer together and the conviction that each of us can change the world for the better.

Written in José's unmistakable voice, Change the Recipe is a collection of his most affecting and powerful life lessons: hard-won wisdom from a man who has dedicated his life to changing the world through the power of food."

José Andrés is my hero.

There is much to admire about Jose Andres, particularly his work with his work with the World Central Kitchen. In the book he tells different short stories in each chapter ending with a life lesson. I particularly enjoyed the beginning of the book learning about his early life as a chef.

In <i>Change the Recipe</i>, humanitarian chef extraordinaire, José Andrés, with a career spanning many different countries, imparts his wisdom in a series of short, feel-good essays on life, cooking, and community. Not only does Andrés have a talent for cooking, he is also a pretty wonderful writer, filling his stories with vivid imagery, cultural context, and philosophical insight.

Having watched his documentary on World Central Kitchen, reading some of the cookbook, and even eaten at his restaurant, I’m quite familiar with Andrés work, especially with World Central Kitchen, which changed the landscape of food in the context of disaster relief and ensuring that people still have opportunities and access to community, comfort and resources during time of strife. True to form, Andrés shows you how to be a good chef and a good person, using his well-deserved platform to help others.
