Food: A Passport to Peace
A Global Voice of Peace invites you to a moment of peace
No matter where you are in the world or even in your own community, when people sit around a table and “break bread” together something special happens. Boundaries disappear as food is shared. Relationships and a sense of community form. It’s ONE meal for All.

After traveling with our “FOOD” Peace Ambassadors below, maybe we’ll realize that we are more alike than we are different.
Food For Soul: 
A Bridge of Art Culture Food   
To Chef Massimo Bottura, everything is beautiful and it’s evident in Food for Soul. His mission: reduce food waste, transform communities and spaces by merging art, culture and nutritious food to promote dignity to homeless and those less fortunate.

Food for Soul dining spaces welcome people with flowers and place settings on the tables, soft lighting, art on the walls, nutritious meals prepared by talented and creative chefs. Hospitality and the care of volunteers serving people at their table, rather than through a buffet line.“This sends an incredible positive message of inclusion, in a world that builds walls, we break walls and say come here. And that’s how we restore dignity and a sense of belonging.”
Quote: Chef Massimo Bottura

Food for Soul, an innovative project spreading to communities around the world. 
World Piece of Pie:
A sweet treat and life feels better,
 according to Beth Howard 
A sweet treat and life feels better, according to Beth Howard. 

After losing her husband she coped by baking pies. Soon Beth saw pies as WORLD PIECE and embarked on her: A Global Pie-Making Mission. This journey led her to nine countries baking pies with people of various cultures. Beth feels her mission is “To Promote Cultural Understanding, Spread Goodwill, Build Community, and Eat Pie!” She shares her stories of peace and hope through her books, blog, and world travels. 
  
This little movie is like pie, it’s not about perfection but it’s made with love.  
Jewish/Arab Cookbook
Co-Authors: Sami Tamimi & Yotam Ottolenghi
Sami Tamimi, Palestinian from a Muslim family in the Old City of East Jerusalem, became a chef and author living in London. 

Yotam Ottolenghi, born to Jewish parents and raised in Ramat Denya, Jerusalem, became a pastry chef at three London restaurants.
The two men met in London, England and became best friends while working in a store Baker & Spice. They opened restaurants and
co-authored cookbooks one was “Jerusalem,” which won the International Book Award from the James Beard Foundation in 2013.

Their recipes are a Culinary & Cultural Crossover, infusing traditional influences from the Christian, Muslim and Jewish cooks in Jerusalem, with flavors from almost everywhere else: Iran, Poland, Syria, Italy. 
Somebody Feed Phil
Phil Rosenthal, who wrote Everyone Loves Raymond, began traveling
to savor food all over the world. His journey led to tasting cultures and creating friendships along the way.

At a farewell dinner party with newly made friendships, Phil looks at
the magnificent “Venice at night” view and says“Shouldn't we be friends with people from all over the world? That alone is a reason to go visit the friends that you make in these places. But you gotta start somewhere, so go! Go now!"
Friends make our life more colorful, more meaningful and bring us to a place of more understanding and empathy. Traveling near or far to learn about other places, people and cultures is the greatest gift we can give ourselves. And if you can't travel, let the people mentioned here take you on a tour of some of the world’s most beautiful places, experience the people, even try making their food.
