Change the Recipe by Jose Andres talks about how to build a better world by breaking some eggs. In a way breaking the rules by breaking eggs is also the way to get ahead for yourself. In turn each of us should think about breaking those eggs to help others succeed.
Creative minds can achieve more for ourselves by collaborating with others and helping them out along the way. Lifting other individual’s boats rises the tide in our favor too.
In Change the Recipe Jose Andres the chef has a chapter titled Build Longer Tables Not Higher Walls.
The fact that bellicose men rule the world and start wars against each other is not something we should accept as the normal operating business of government.
Andres at the end of this chapter states:
“When you share a meal with someone, or lots of people, you learn more and can help more. And helping people rebuild their lives where they are is far more successful than building walls to keep us apart.”
So-called “migrants” flee their countries and come to America or places like Italy and Greece because civil and other wars have displaced them.
The World Central Kitchen that Jose Andres founded steps in to feed the people where they are. The WCK helps those individuals feed themselves doesn’t just give them a handout.
One brilliant solution Andres had was to make sandwiches when hot stoves weren’t available. Andres bought the sandwich ingredients from a local farmer at a market.
Change the Recipe gives “recipes” for how to build a better world. Each of us one person at a time can contribute mighty effort by “breaking some eggs” in our own way.
The fact that each of us is just one person shouldn’t deter us from trying to build this better world for others and for ourselves too.
Early on in recovery our goal should be bettering ourselves. Then with our feet planted on this ground we can aspire to help others.
