She learned of the WfWI program and applied and was accepted. She learned to cook and now works in a restaurant in Kigali and is able to support her family on her own. She says the WfWI experience was first time she felt hope since the genocide. She traveled to Rwanda with WfWI to learn more about the organization. Photo by Lauri Pastrone. Arriving in villages when Jesse would mention she was a cook, "doors opened, we were invited when when we let them know I was hoping to have the women share their cooking, their gardens and their markets with me so I could learn more about Rwandan food. She was astonished at some of the kitchen conditions -- most of which were makeshift at best. In one community they visited the new bakery that WfWI built. It had thick plastic for walls and the oven was outside. Jesse says the bakery is in a "walking village," a string of villages along roads people take to get from place to place. The bakery is run by a co-op of WfWI women. Jesse jumped right in and started baking. I was in heaven. While in Rwanda, Jesse took part in cooking classes at the restaurant Heaven in Kigali. It turned into something more than a lesson for the women. They are taught traditional European cooking so they can get jobs in hotels. I asked if they would show me traditional Rwandan food, so they taught me to make some of their favorite and most commonly cooked foods. It was so beautiful, so loving and so much fun! Jesse also wanted to find and meet her sister Odette. She made her way to Odette's home, several hours from a main village, a basic hut with no running water, no power and an open fire next to the door for cooking. Waiting for us was a meal prepared from her garden of boiled potatoes, beans and green bananas smothered in groundnut spices. I have eaten amazing food, but this was one of the most memorable meals of my life. What Odette shared is what the other women in the cookbook share, and share proudly. Food is the universal language and it connects and inspires people. There are recipes in Share , "It's just regular food, it's not fancy, it's this mix of delicious food and you think 'oh I can cook that. Both Jesse and Lauri will be doing book signings and cooking classes in the San Francisco Bay Area during December and into the new year, including two cooking classes at Draeger's Markets in Silicon Valley in March Share is more than a cookbook. The photos along make me want to go into my kitchen and cook. But the stories of the women inspire me to reach out globally. You see the power of helping just one person and how it can have a positive, even joyful impact. Share is a cookbook you must share with others in your life. News U.

For years, Pastrone had supported Women for Women International WfWI , a foundation that helps war victims create new lives by offering skills training and other assistance. So on her 50th birthday, she rallied a team of volunteers and launched a cookbook project to raise funds for the charity, with considerably more in mind than a quick-printed compendium of favorite casseroles. They wanted to publish a glorious volume involving celebrities, humanitarians and notable chefs. The answer: pretty much everyone.

Jan 02, Lea rated it it was amazing Recommended to Lea by: Erica. Shelves: cookbooks. What an amazing cook book this is! It is filled with delicious recipes and stories. The recipes do not seem overly complex and the ingredients in most of the recipes are easy to find in local groceries stores both important to me as I am not an accomplished cook and I live in a rural area. I marked quite a few to try. Many of the recipes are vegetarian. The stories included are so inspiring. I am looking into sponsoring a sister in the future through Women for Women International. The photos What an amazing cook book this is! The photos are gorgeous, both of the food and of the women being impacted by WfWI. The statistics on the countries highlighted are very interesting and I am so glad they were included. Everyone should buy this book! View 1 comment.
