Can cooking help promote world peace? These chefs are working with the State Department to give it a shot.
Over the last decade, chefs have enjoyed growing influence outside of kitchens as authors, TV celebrities, and advocates for a variety of causes. Across the pond, Jamie Oliver has been campaigning for better school lunches to improve children's nutrition. In 2010, Jose Andres, of El Bulli fame, went to Haiti after the earthquake to set up 14 solar-powered kitchens that provided food for survivors. Earlier this year, the World Bank enlisted David Chang of Momofuku, among other top chefs, in its mission to end poverty and hunger by 2030.
