James Bell Kitchen Table

José Andrés just published “Change the Recipe,” his 17th book. The subtitle suggests a reason: “Because You Can’t Build a Better World Without Breaking Some Eggs.” It became an instant New York Times bestseller, and, incidentally, a guide that offers up food as a solution to many of the problems plaguing the world: climate, immigration, national security, and dignity. He went to the Clinton Global Initiative annual meeting in New York in late September with a plea to those in charge: “The world doesn’t run on oil. It runs on rice.”

Summer … Rosemary chicken on the Weber, herbs, & rosemary in the garden

Flags and Farmers Markets. The start of summer in America and I am spending the weekend at the farm in Va. Politics and food are always on the plate this time of year.

Food, Politics and Power all on full display and the State Dinner for Kenya. Presidents Biden, Obama and Clinton and many other dignitaries there to host the special relationship between the two countries.

Thank you Chef Chris and Ambassador for an amazing Artic Cool party! 🇳🇴
