If you know me you know I am obsessed with Alice Waters. And, hopefully at this point in our blogging relationship I do not have to tell you who she is. For those of you newbies or those who have been living under a food rock of sorts, she is the founder and mover and continued shaker of the local food movement. She opened the first restaurant using ONLY local ingredients in the country, Chez Panisse in Berkley in 1974. Since then she has sustained her reputation as a food mover but more importantly as a loud voice for the furthering relationship between consumers and farmers, or better the lack of relationship between our food and where it comes from.
She is currently travelling the country promoting her new book “The Art of Simple Food: Notes, Lessons and Recipes From a Delicious Revolution”. In the article attached she spends the day shopping and preparing lunch for the NY Times journalist that is interviewing her (lucky stiff).
Please take the time to do a simple click of your mouse and read this article about not only this amazing woman but what you can do to improve the food supply of this country. We are an overweight and under-nourished country in desperate need of this food revolution and despite what critics say it is within our grasp......if only we would reach for it.

“This kind of little gathering in the backyard is what reinforces our dedication,” she said. “That we can do something simply and easily with an unlikely group of people and all be in the same place because of the food on the table is how it happens.”
