FOOD IS ONE OF CIVILIZATION’S OLDEST INSTRUMENTS OF DIPLOMACY.
The Peace Cookbook
Across centuries, the table has eased divisions and sparked peace. The Peace Cookbook reimagines beloved dishes from g7+ nations, inviting the world to share history, tradition, and connection.
The Peace Cookbook is created in partnership with the Foundation for Post Conflict Development (FPCD) a diplomatic charity that advances education, health, and cultural dialogue in post conflict regions. Our shared belief: peace often begins at the table.
Meet Wheeler del Torro
Wheeler del Torro is a cultural envoy whose work in culinary diplomacy explores how food can bridge divides and foster global dialogue.
With a career spanning more than a hundred countries, from the spice markets of Marrakech to the tea houses of Kyoto, Wheeler has cultivated a deep belief that food is one of humanity’s oldest and most powerful instruments of diplomacy.
Today, Wheeler divides his time between the United States, Monaco, and the South of France, where he continues to develop cultural projects at the intersection of cuisine, diplomacy, and identity. His work is guided by one enduring truth: that food is memory, connection, and peace.
About the FPCD
The Foundation for Post Conflict Development (FPCD) is a Non-Governmental Organization recognized by the US Internal Revenue Service Code 501(c)(3), founded in New York in 2005. The FPCD’s mission is to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals in the context of post conflict situations. The FPCD has an important role to play to keep the needs of post conflict communities at the forefront. The FPCD lets the experts engage in conflict resolution and peacekeeping and strictly focuses on development, especially for midwives, maternal and family health related projects, youth empowerment and community environmental impact programs. The FPCD serves as a vital bridge, connecting partners and organizing international opportunities for dialogue and cultural diplomacy. The Post Conflict Development Association of Monaco was officially established in 2015 and placed under the High Patronage of H.S.H. Prince Albert II. After 20 years of operation, the FPCD established an additional branch in Norway in 2025.
Culinary Diplomacy in Action
The Peace Cookbook is rooted in the knowledge that food carries memory, identity, and connection. It positions cuisine as a diplomatic instrument that can be used to foster dialogue where politics often falter.
Each chapter reintroduces a g7+ nation through recipes and reflections, inviting readers to experience these places not through conflict, but through the richness of their culture and the generosity of their hospitality.
Scarce by design, this edition is limited and signed, crafted to be preserved and shared. It is not a mass-market title but a cultural edition created to inspire reflection, dialogue, and connection.
