"José Andrés's work to build a massive relief operation from the ground up after Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico was nothing short of miraculous--and a powerful reminder that we all have a responsibility to do what we can to help one another in times of need." -- President Bill Clinton "In the days and weeks after Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico, José Andrés seemed to always be in constant motion. . . but it's only in the pages of this book that the scale of their contribution becomes clear.

Synopsis
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 Jos Andr s 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. Andr s 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 Jos 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, Andr s 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 Andr s'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., FOREWORD BY LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA AND LUIS A.

    Items arrived exactly as described, clean and very well packaged. Great communication, including arranging of combined shipping of multiple purchases to minimize costs. Other items, which were breakable and fragile, were packaged in an outstanding manner and shipping was prompt. Would gladly deal with this seller again.

    Item arrived as listed. Shipping was fast. Packaging was in a wrapped bubble mailer. Cards were surprisingly all sleeved and toploader, sandwhiched between carefully taped cardboard. Cards are as pictured and described. In the future I would be confident buying from this seller again.

    It only took four days to receive the Plate! And the packaging was incredible… There was no way that Plate was going to be damaged by the great packaging. The plate was exactly as described, and it was in perfect condition. And the value? There were similar plates being offered at a much higher amount than this. I just returned from Denmark and was unable to find "the little mermaid" Royal Copenhagen Plate. I am thrilled to finally have one of my own at such an affordable price. Thank you!
