A unique collection of life lessons from renowned chef and humanitarian José Andrés.

José Andrés is a chef, an entrepreneur, an author, an Emmy award-winning television host, and a tireless humanitarian leader across the globe. A Michelin-starred chef with more than forty restaurants, José is also the founder of World Central Kitchen, a nonprofit dedicated to feeding the hungry in the wake of natural and man-made disasters. He is the New York Times bestselling author of Zaytinya, The World Central Kitchen Cookbook, We Fed an Island, and Vegetables Unleashed. He was honored as Outstanding Chef and Humanitarian of the Year by the James Beard Foundation, was twice named one of Time’s 100 Most Influential People, and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2025.

We’re honored to host him on the publication of his book, Change the Recipe: Because You Can’t Build a Better World Without Breaking Some Eggs. His lifetime of experience—from kitchens to conflict zones—has given him a wealth of stories and teachable moments that are funny, touching, and insightful, all animated by the belief that food can bring us closer together and the conviction that each of us can change the world for the better.

Change the Recipe is a collection of his most affecting and powerful life lessons: hard-won wisdom from a man who has dedicated his life to changing the world through the power of food.

A roadmap to finding your purpose in life, this book is perfect for those who are starting their careers, seeking new direction, changing the world around them, or changing themselves. Frank about failure, excited by discovery, humble about feeding the hungry, and joyful for the possibilities ahead, this book will lift your spirits and inspire you to dream big, no matter where you start—or where you think you’re headed.
