Alice Waters was born on April, 28, 1944, in Chatham, New Jersey. She graduated from the University of California at Berkeley in 1967 with a degree in French cultural studies before training at the International Montessori School in London. Her daughter, Fanny, was born in 1983.
“After reading Alice Water's new book, I'm ready to proclaim her a
culinary oracle. She dazzles me—the things she does with
garden-fresh ingredients, the unexpected and wonderful results she
obtains. This is a glorious book by a great chef.”—Paula
Wolfert
“These recipes are fun to read, a good combination of the tried and
true and the extrasensory perception that is almost a trademark of
Alice's cooking. I especially like havuing the four seasonal
sections in which the accent is on what is fresh then. The fruits
and herbs and everything else that goes on the table are of that
one special time in the year.”—M.F.K. Fisher
“Pizza? What an odd, ordinary thing for one of America's most
respected establishments to put on the menu. When the pizza came
and I tasted it, I saw what Alice Waters was about: the ordinary
made extraordinary by the use of fine unusual ingredients—in this
case girolles in a general creaminess, spiked with a little
Parmesan and onion—put together by a skillful and unusual
taste.”—Jane Grigson
