The Eat Offbeat Chefs
Refugees by status, chefs by calling.The Kitchen Without Borders is a special kind of cookbook. In it, chefs from around the world – all part of Eat Offbeat, a catering company staffed by immigrants and refugees who have found a new home and new hope through cooking- offer up to 70 authentic, surprising, nourishing recipes. The food has roots that run as deep as its flavors, celebrating the culinary traditions of Syria, Iran, Eritrea, Venezuela, and more. Discover Iraqi Biryani, a rice dish combining vegetables and plump dried fruits with warming spices. Chari Bari, hand formed meatballs simmered in Nepali- spiced tomato and cashew sauce. Iranian rice with garbanzos, Sri Lankan curry dhal, and Manchurian cauliflower straight from the Himalayas. More than a collection of delicious foods from around the world, this inspiring cookbook- with its intimate chef profiles and photographic portraits-offers a glimpse into the journey of displaced people and highlights the profound link between food and home.*From March 1, 2021, to March 1, 2022, (including any preordered copies that ship during this period), Workman Publishing will donate 2% of the cover price for every copy of The Kitchen without Borders cookbook sold in the United States and its territories, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and European Union member states, to the IRC, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to providing humanitarian aid, relief and resettlement to refugees and other victims of oppression, conflict, or disaster with a minimum contribution of $25,000 USD.

"Coming from a Middle Eastern background, I gravitate to recipes that remind me from my childhood. And although I am a way better cook than my mom I'm always looking for the next new family favorite. But this time I let my husband chose. I handed him this cookbook and said, "Here, pick one." The first night he chose Chari Curry. I had all the ingredients except for the curry leaves. Not sure if this was a make or break but in the end it did feel it was missing that little something extra. It was good, but not great. Our favorite had to be Chicken Karahi. Ingredients are easy to find at any grocer and the flavors are fantastic. It's a hearty stew and serves plenty. Some of the ingredients in this book are hard to find. I was surprised that there were no lamb dishes. Plenty of chicken and beef, but no lamb. Which I find odd considering that lamb is part of the food culture in these countries. IF you're looking for new and different this is a great book to try. Pick it up from your library before you commit, but I'm sure you'd find it a keeper after trying a few recipes. Special thanks to NetGalley or giving me the opportunity to express my opinions in exchange for a ARC."
