It was when traveling on assignment in India that journalist
Stephen Henderson first learned of soup kitchens operated by Sikh
houses of worship (or gurudwaras). After volunteering for a week at
the Gurudwara Bangla Sahib in Delhi - which feeds 20,000 men,
women, and children every day - Henderson became curious to
research global gastrophilanthropy, or the very different ways in
which hungry people are served free meals around the world. When
newspaper and magazine work dispatched him to places across America
and abroad, Henderson would add days to his itineraries to learn
about local customs of charitable cookery. This intriguing series
of field reports reveals the clamor, chaos, and compassion of
kitchens in places such as Iran, Israel, and South Korea, as well
as those in Austin, Los Angeles and Pittsburgh. While the recipes,
culinary methods, and clientele may vary, all the soul-stirring
experiences share a common theme: a great way to show love to the
needy is through the gift of food. Written with a huge heart, and
an even bigger appetite, these chapters - sad and funny, sometimes
both - may inspire you to embark on your own acts of
gastrophilanthropy. After all, someone, somewhere, is always
hungry.
