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.
