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.
