Take Back The Tray is part manifesto, part memoir from the trenches, and a blueprint for reclaiming control from corporations and brutal bottom lines. Maharaj reconnects food with health, wellness, education, and rehabilitation in a way that serves people, not just budgets, and prives change is possible with honest, sustained commitment on all levels, from government right down to the person sorting the rubbish. The need is clear, the time is now, and this revolution is delicious.
"The author is an engaging and dedicated advocate for those she' s feeding. This is tremendous food for thought for a new decade. " -- Quill & Quire"Many of us have been appalled by the loveless fare being offered at institutions here in Canada. We all know better. Thank you, Joshna Maharaj for stepping into the fray and challenging this sad state of affairs. In Take Back the Tray we savour a passionate and insightful analysis born of many years on the ground working in the institutional food service reality. The writing is an inspiring call to action to restore dignity and deliciousness coupled with a large dose of hospitality to our institutional dining experience. I' ll be doing my bit. " -- Jamie Kennedy, chef"Why is institutional food so bad when it could, and should, be so good? With hard-won insights and deep commitment, Joshna Maharaj takes us on a mouthwatering tour of what our collective food future might be. Her vision points the way to how we can put the hospitality back in hospital food and the generosity into a new generation of socially produced acts of care. " -- Raj Patel, author of Stuffed and Starved: The Hidden Battle for the World Food System"As we are learning, group health depends upon individual health, and in this well-researched, passionate testimonial Maharaj offers wisdom to guide us in the crucial work of improving our collective well-being. " -- Winnipeg Free Press"Take Back the Tray: Revolutionizing Food in Hospitals, Schools, and Institutions is part manifesto, part memoir and full-on wakeup call about prioritizing what sustains us: food.
