A memoir of a young woman who travels as a war correspondent to the most dangerous places in the world and connects her experiences through food.
Starting with human interest reporting from war zones and crisis-plagued regions of the world ranging from Afghanistan to Chechnya to East Africa, PEACE MEALS takes readers behind the scenes of terrible conflicts to look at the humanity of strangers. The author discovers, in the universal bond of sharing food, a way to accept and extend hospitality, which is really a way to glimpse the lives of ordinary people, of warlords, of soldiers, all affected by ongoing devastation. The gifts she has received are passed on in the form of these closely observed tales of everyday courage and compassion, and through the recipes that are included as small jewels to be treasured for the memories they conjure as well as for their lasting flavor.
