Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The first authorized biography of 'the mother of American cooking' (The New York Times)This adventurous book charts the origins of the local 'market cooking' culture that we all savor today. When Francophile Alice Waters opened Chez Panisse in Berkeley in 1971, few Americans were familiar with goat cheese, cappuccino, or mesclun. But it wasn't long before Waters and her motley coterie of dreamers inspired a new culinary standard incorporating ethics, politics, and the conviction that the bestgrown food is also the tastiest. Based on unprecedented access to Waters and her inner circle, this is a truly delicious ragstoriches saga.
