Alice Waters is the visionary chef and owner of Chez Panisse in Berkeley, California. She is the author of four cookbooks, including Chez Panisse Vegetables and Fanny at Chez Panisse.

Jeanne Nolan fled her suburban Chicago home for Zendik Farm as a teenager, hoping for a life fille...

I've loved this book ever since it was given to me a couple of years ago. I love it even more since a recent visit to San Francisco, of which a visit to Tartine Bakery was one of many highlights. Great stuff!

Great inspiration for teachers and anyone else who wants to do good for the world. I will recommend this when people want a book for a child's teacher or a new education school graduate.
