Books By Alice Waters, Bob Carrau - Author

Alice Waters is Fanny's mother and the noted chef, restaurateur and proprietor of Chez Panisse in Berkeley, California. She was an early advocate for the use of organic and locally grown food in restaurants, and has written a number of books and won numerous awards relating to her philosophy of food and eating. Before being a cook, Alice was a Montessori teacher and this experience inspired her to found the Edible Schoolyard Project whose mission is to create and establish a national edible education curriculum in all public schools - kindergarten through college. In 2010, Alice received the prestigious Légion d'honneur from the French government and in 2014 she received the National Humanities Medal.
