Bread & War - A Ukrainian Story...

Felicity Spector

Inspirational and insightful, Bread and War is a compelling account of feeding, eating and resistance in wartime Ukraine 
 
From the military kitchens which cook for soldiers and volunteers, to the chefs who shifted from fine dining to turning out hot meals and loaves of bread for families in need - food has become a central part of Ukraine's war effort. 
 
Food is a weapon, a lifeline, a means of survival. It's also a powerful symbol of national identity and memory for the millions of people who've been forced from their homes. 
 
Bread and War tells the extraordinary stories of just some of those people - the army cooks, the bakers, the kitchen volunteers, the charity workers, the refugees and the young chefs who repeatedly reopen cafes after multiple bombings, determined to reclaim Ukrainian food memories after decades of Soviet suppression, driven to keep Ukraine independent in politics and culture.
