A
Unique Cookbook that Celebrates Women Around the Globe
Did you know that 70 percent of those
living on less than $1 a day are female?
Women also are disproportionately affected by war. We've all read the
horrific stories of women in conflict-torn countries who have been
raped, who have lost their husbands, forced from their homes and are
left the sole providers for their family.
Zainab Salbi set out to help when she founded Women for Women
International in 1993. The organization helps women rebuild their
lives. It now operates in eight countries: Afghanistan, Bosnia and
Herzegovina, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Iraq, Kosovo,
Nigeria, Rwanda and Sudan.
Now comes a remarkable cookbook, "Share: The Cookbook That Celebrates Our Common
Humanity" (Kyle). The book, of which I received a
review copy, features a collection of recipes from celebrities
involved in humanitarian issues.
The recipes run the gamut from Waters' lentil salad to Nigerian beef
and okra soup to Aung San Suu Kyi's Burmese tomato fish curry.
With lovely eggplants galore at the farmers market now, I was drawn
to the "Eggplant Curry" recipe by Afshan Khan, the CEO of
Women for Women.
Made with coconut milk, ginger, garam masala, a dash of chili powder,
plenty of cumin and a squeeze of lemon, it's a creamy, earthy,
comforting dish that's just a little tangy and spicy. It's made for
rice to sop up all the wonderful sauce.

the cause and the cookbook.
