“Extending the Table is a global journey for the palate and the heart into resource-poor areas that are rich in cultural heritage, diverse in exquisite foods, overflowing with hospitality, generous in spirit, and rooted in a sense of community.”

“An invitation to delightful cross-cultural exploration, delicious meals, and probing justice education all in one engaging book—a cookbook with wonderful recipes from all over the world. This new edition of a highly successful international cookbook will continue to delight, inspire, and transform. Highly recommended.”

“Extending the Table powerfully reminds us of families all over the world gathering around tables to share food. It also reminds us that we need to make room around the table so that everyone has enough to eat.”

“By linking friendship and international foodways to global economics, Joetta Handrich Schlabach and contributors have prepared a feast made from the firstfruits of justice!’

“My original edition of Extending the Table is marked throughout with pencil notations of dates I tried recipes and guests’ reactions. This new edition allows me to keep on receiving from and sharing flavorful gifts with others, and now, with delight, to pass this heritage on to my grandchildren.

“The world has gotten smaller since Extending the Table was published in 1991. But we still need tastes of how others live as we gather around our tables and break bread together. This book is an excellent resource to connect with other cultures and the flavors they offer.”

“Extending the Table is a treasury of recipes from our global community that celebrates the diversity of traditions. It keeps us mindful that food is both a necessity and a way to gather families around the table.”

“This book should be in kitchens all over North America!”
