Neuware - WINNER OF THE JAMES BEARD AWARD A powerful and heartwarming exploration of cuisine in conflict zones, highlighting the courageous persistence of people struggling to protect their food culture in the face of war, genocide, and violence."The Last Sweet Bite tells the powerful and personal stories of the heroic home cooks fighting to keep their foodand their identityalive."José Andrés, founder of World Central KitchenWar changes every part of human culture: art, education, music, politics.
