In Gaza, Palestinians break their Ramadan fast with wartime iterations of malfouf and sumagiyya. In France, an Algerian hazelnut spread causes a culture war. In Blue Ridge, Georgia, a mother of eight works as a lunch lady, sneaking food to the students who can't afford it.

As Andres observes, \"In these pages you have a how-to manual of opportunities to make the world a better place.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Best American Food and Travel 2026\u003c\/i\u003e includes - Priya Krishna - Ligaya Mishan - Dan Kois - Jordan Kisner - Lauren Collins - Lauren Oyler\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJosé Andrés\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Michelin-starred chef, an Emmy Award-winning TV host and producer, and a \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e bestselling author of \u003cem\u003eChange the Recipe\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eZaytinya\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eVegetables Unleashed\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eThe World Central Kitchen Cookbook\u003c\/em\u003e.
