Culinary standard bearer Alice Waters recalls
the circuitous road and tumultuous times
leading to the opening of her world-famous
restaurant Chez Panisse and the beginning
of her quest to promote organic, locally
grown produce in America. In this memoir,
Waters writes about her childhood in New
Jersey, her time at UC Santa Barbara (when
extracurricular drinking got her kicked out
of her sorority on ‘morals charges’), her
move to UC Berkeley when she was drawn
into the free speech movement, her life-
defining year in Paris and her short career
as a teacher, which was curtailed when she
refused to stop wearing see-through tops to
work. Her evocations of Paris and of hippie-
era Berkeley are loving, and her account of
coming to the realisation that she wanted to
promote a very particular style and type of
food and eating is fascinating.
