Summary

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. Ukrainian food is also a powerful symbol of national identity and independence. And for the millions of people who've been forced into exile, food from home feeds their memories and their hopes for the future. 'Bread and War' tells the extraordinary stories of just some of those people.
