Alice Waters, founder of Chez Panisse restaurant and the Edible Schoolyard Project, is internationally recognized as the pioneer of a movement that advocates for just, sustainable, and organic food. Her work emphasizes the importance of edible education in our school system and she has been honored with international awards for her work as an activist and humanitarian. Waters's culinary philosophy maintains that food should be organic, sustainable, and locally sourced. Her Berkeley restaurant Chez Panisse has ranked among the “World’s 50 Best Restaurants” for four decades, and her commitment to finding the highest-quality, seasonal ingredients has created a network of local farmers and purveyors dedicated to sustainable agriculture. Alice Waters is the author of ten books, including The Art of Simple Food: Notes and Recipes from a Delicious Revolution, In the Green Kitchen, 40 Years of Chez Panisse: The Power of Gathering, and her most recent book, The Art of Simple Food II: Recipes, Flavor, and Inspiration from the New Kitchen Garden.
