New Releases by Alice Waters

In this multigenerational cookbook for adults and children alike, Alice Waters, the award-winning chef and food activist, champions an empowered relationship between students and organic food, offering delicious recipes that will nourish future generations—and ourselves—from the inside out Education and food are two universal rights: all children deserve to go to school, and everyone should have the opportunity to eat nutritious food. After Alice Waters launched the farm-to-table movement with the opening of her acclaimed restaurant Chez Panisse, she went on to found the Edible Schoolyard Project, inspiring schools to source their food from local regenerative farmers and developing an edible education that would transform the school food experience for children worldwide. Now, in A School Lunch Revolution, the culinary icon reimagines the way we feed our children at school and at home. Beginning with what we cook in our kitchens, this book offers the first step to teaching the next generation the lifelong values of eating whole foods. Inspired by international food traditions, these versatile recipes explore an array of textures and tastes guided by the principles Waters believes compose memorable, organic meals: local and seasonal, affordable, diverse, simple and delicious, and beautiful. From one of the nation’s most beloved chefs, here is a revolutionary reinterpretation of the classic school lunch for a more sustainable future.

¿Cómo se aprovechan las "industrias" de cosméticos y modas de las inseguridades emocionales, sexuales y económicas de las mujeres y adolescentes para sacar ganancias? ¿Por qué las siempre cambiantes normas de belleza son las normas de la clase gobernante? ¿Cómo se convirtió la mujer en el "segundo sexo", y cómo puede ponerse fin a este producto de la sociedad divida en clases? ¿Cómo se ha debilitado toda la estructura de opresión gracias a la acelerada integración de mujeres a la fuerza laboral mundial? A principios de los años 50, un artículo en el semanario socialista norteamericano The Militant, que exponía el feroz afán de ganancias de los monopolios de cosméticos, provocó un animado debate sobre estos temas. Hoy este intercambio, Los cosméticos, la moda y la explotación de la mujer, se reconoce como un clásico del marxismo. Ofrece una introducción al origen de la opresión de la mujer, y al camino hacia nuestra emancipación.

From chef and food activist Alice Waters, an impassioned plea for a radical reconsideration of the way each and every one of us cooks and eats In We Are What We Eat, Alice Waters urges us to take up the mantle of slow food culture, the philosophy at the core of her life’s work. When Waters first opened Chez Panisse in 1971, she did so with the intention of feeding people good food during a time of political turmoil. Customers responded to the locally sourced organic ingredients, to the dishes made by hand, and to the welcoming hospitality that infused the small space—human qualities that were disappearing from a country increasingly seduced by takeout, frozen dinners, and prepackaged ingredients. Waters came to see that the phenomenon of fast food culture, which prioritized cheapness, availability, and speed, was not only ruining our health, but also dehumanizing the ways we live and relate to one another. Over years of working with regional farmers, Waters and her partners learned how geography and seasonal fluctuations affect the ingredients on the menu, as well as about the dangers of pesticides, the plight of fieldworkers, and the social, economic, and environmental threats posed by industrial farming and food distribution. So many of the serious problems we face in the world today—from illness, to social unrest, to economic disparity, and environmental degradation—are all, at their core, connected to food. Fortunately, there is an antidote. Waters argues that by eating in a “slow food way,” each of us—like the community around her restaurant—can be empowered to prioritize and nurture a different kind of culture, one that champions values such as biodiversity, seasonality, stewardship, and pleasure in work. This is a declaration of action against fast food values, and a working theory about what we can do to change the course. As Waters makes clear, every decision we make about what we put in our mouths affects not only our bodies but also the world at large—our families, our communities, and our environment. We have the power to choose what we eat, and we have the potential for individual and global transformation—simply by shifting our relationship to food. All it takes is a taste.

Of all the qualities that distinguish a truly outstanding restaurant or food experience, perhaps truth, love and care are the most important: a passion for creating food that is so good that it will never be forgotten; an environment that makes that extraordinary food taste even better; and a care for the ground or water from which that food is derived and the community in which it is served. Truth, Love & Clean Cutlery identifies truly exemplary restaurants and food experiences, offering a new, kinder way of choosing where to eat.

Plus que quiconque aux États-Unis, Alice Waters a changé la manière dont on mange, dont on cuisine et dont on pense l’alimentation. À travers son restaurant Chez Panisse à Berkeley fondé en 1971, comme à travers ses livres et ses multiples engagements citoyens, elle a mené une véritable révolution des palais outre-Atlantique. Ses plats simples et inventifs sont toujours axés sur le goût et le respect du produit local et saisonnier. Associant des conseils culinaires essentiels et un formidable répertoire de recettes accessibles et intemporelles, L’Art de la cuisine simple est un outil indispensable pour tout cuisinier, débutant ou confirmé.

The New York Times bestselling and critically acclaimed memoir from cultural icon and culinary standard bearer Alice Waters recalls the circuitous road and tumultuous times leading to the opening of what is arguably America''s most influential restaurant. When Alice Waters opened the doors of her "little French restaurant" in Berkeley, California in 1971 at the age of 27, no one ever anticipated the indelible mark it would leave on the culinary landscape—Alice least of all. Fueled in equal parts by naiveté and a relentless pursuit of beauty and pure flavor, she turned her passion project into an iconic institution that redefined American cuisine for generations of chefs and food lovers. In Coming to My Senses Alice retraces the events that led her to 1517 Shattuck Avenue and the tumultuous times that emboldened her to find her own voice as a cook when the prevailing food culture was embracing convenience and uniformity. Moving from a repressive suburban upbringing to Berkeley in 1964 at the height of the Free Speech Movement and campus unrest, she was drawn into a bohemian circle of charismatic figures whose views on design, politics, film, and food would ultimately inform the unique culture on which Chez Panisse was founded. Dotted with stories, recipes, photographs, and letters, Coming to My Senses is at once deeply personal and modestly understated, a quietly revealing look at one woman''s evolution from a rebellious yet impressionable follower to a respected activist who effects social and political change on a global level through the common bond of food.

In this collection of essays and recipes, Alice Waters showcases the simple building-block ingredients she uses to create gratifying, impromptu meals all year long. In her most intimate and compelling cookbook yet, Alice invites readers to step not into the kitchen at Chez Panisse, but into her own, sharing how she shops, stores, and prepares the pantry staples and preserves that form the core of her daily meals. Ranging from essentials like homemade chicken stock, red wine vinegar, and tomato sauce to the unique artisanal provisions that embody Alice’s unadorned yet delightful cooking style, she shows how she injects even simple meals with nuanced flavor and seasonal touches year-round. From fresh cheeses to quick pickles to sweets and spirits, these often-used ingredients are, as she explains, the key to kitchen spontaneity when combined with simple grains, vegetables, and other staple items. With charming pen-and-ink illustrations by her daughter, Fanny and Alice’s warm, inviting tone, the latest book from our most influential proponent of simple, organic cooking ensures a gracious, healthy meal is always within reach.

Hace 60 años, un artículo en el semanario socialista estadounidense el Militante provocó un animado debate sobre cómo las industrias de cosméticos y "modas" se aprovechan de las inseguridades económicas y emocionales de las mujeres y los adolescentes para sacar ganancias. Hoy día ese intercambio, recogido en este libro, un clásico del marxismo, brinda una introducción sobre el origen de la opresión de la mujer y la lucha por la liberación.Sixty years ago, an article published in the socialist weekly The Militant sparked a lively debate on how the cosmetics and "fashion" industries play on the economic and emotional insecurities of women and youth to rake in profits. Today that exchange, contained in this book, a Marxist classic, offers an introduction to the origin of women''s oppression and the struggle for liberation.

The social revolution that in 1959 brought down the bloody Batista dictatorship began in the streets of cities like Santiago de Cuba and the Rebel Army''s liberated mountain zones of eastern Cuba. The unprecedented integration of women in the ranks and leadership of this struggle was a true measure of the revolutionary course it has followed to this day. Here, in firsthand accounts by women who helped make it, is the story of that revolution--and "the revolution within." "A fascinating look into women''s rights in Cuba, "Women in Cuba" is a strongly recommended pick for any women''s studies collections."--Midwest Book Review "...[W]hat was achieved by and for women during and after the Cuban Revolution was nothing less than remarkable. ... American readers of Women in Cuba are escorted to the "prohibited" land of Cuba without State Department permission or scrutiny. And thus they are given the freedom to arrive at conclusions of their own regarding the island nation and its women."--ForeWord Reviews, Summer 2012 "This well researched book would be of interest to anyone studying Cuban history, Latin American history, the history of the women''s liberation movement on a global scale and anyone who enjoys reading about history. Recommended for all libraries and bookstores."--REFORMA, April 2012 Introduction by Mary-Alice Waters. Photo sections, maps, glossary, index.

“Chez Panisse is an extraordinary dining experience. . . . It is Alice Waters''s brilliant gastronomic mind, her flair for cooking, and her almost revolutionary concept of menu planning that make Chez Panisse so exciting.”—James Beard Justly famed for the originality of its ever-changing menu and the range and virtuosity of its chef and owner, Alice Waters, Chez Panisse is known throughout the world as one of America''s greatest restaurants. Dinner there is always an adventure—a different five-course meal is offered every night, and the restaurant has seldom repeated a meal since its opening in 1971. Alice Waters is a brilliant pioneer of a wholly original cuisine, at once elegant and earthy, classical and experimental, joyous in its celebration of the very finest and freshest ingredients. In this spectacular book, Alice Waters collects 120 of Chez Panisse''s best menus, its most inspired transformations of classic French dishes. The Chez Panisse Menu Cookbook is filled with dishes redolent of the savory bouquet of the garden, the appealing aromas and roasty flavors of food cooked over the charcoal grill, and the delicate sweetness of fish fresh from the sea. There are menus here for different seasons of the year, for picnics and outdoor barbecues and other great occasions. Handsomely designed and illustrated by David Lance Goines, this is an indispensable addition to the shelf of every great cook and cookbook readers. “A lovely book, wonderfully inventive, and the food is very pure.”—Richard Olney

Chez Panisse opened its doors in 1971. Founded by Alice Waters, the restaurant is rooted in her conviction that the best-tasting food is organic, locally grown, and harvested in ecologically sound ways by people who are taking care of the land for future generations. The quest for such ingredients has always determined the restaurant’s cuisine, and, over the course of forty years, Chez Panisse has helped create a community of local farmers and ranchers whose dedication to sustainable agriculture assures the restaurant a steady supply of fresh and pure ingredients. In Forty Years of Chez Panisse: The Power of Gathering, Alice takes readers on her journey from the humble and visionary beginnings of the restaurant, through its rise and the acclaim, to the Café and the influential Chez Panisse Foundation. Organized by decade, the book includes a wealth of archival material and photographs—menus; invitations; pictures of Alice at the restaurant and around the world, with those who have passed through her life—and interviews from public figures and cooks who have been inspired by or mentored at the restaurant. This tribute to the delicious food revolution that began with Alice Waters and Chez Panisse is an important work for anyone who cares about food, sustainability, and the powerful legacy that Alice has built.

A champion of organic, locally produced and seasonal food and founder of acclaimed Californian restaurant Chez Panisse, Alice Waters explores the simplest of dishes in the most delicious of ways, with fresh, sustainable ingredients a must, even encouraging cooks to plant their own garden. From orange and olive salad to lemon curd and ginger snaps, Waters constantly emphasizes the joys and ease of cooking with local, fresh food, whether in soups, salads or sensual, classic desserts.

Biscotti is the first of eight to ten small hardcover cookbooks, each based on a single subject.

Alice Waters has been a champion of the sustainable, local cooking movement for decades. To Alice, good food is a right, not a privilege.

She demystifies the basics including steaming a vegetable, dressing a salad, simmering stock, filleting a fish, roasting a chicken, and making bread.

"Para pensar que una revolucion socialista en Estados Unidos no es posible, habria que creer no solo que las familias dominantes de los paises imperialistas y sus brujos economicos han encontrado la forma de ''manejar'' el capitalismo. Habria que cerrar tambien los ojos a las guerras imperialistas, guerras civiles y crisis economicas, financieras y sociales que se propagan a nuestro alrededor."-Mary-Alice WatersCaracas, Venezuela, noviembre de 2007 La respuesta a la pregunta planteada en el titulo de este libro cobra aun mas urgencia en 2009 ante la contraccion de la produccion capitalista que se acelera a nivel mundial. En dos charlas, presentadas como parte de un amplio debate en la ferias anuales del libro de Venezuela en 2007 y 2008, Mary-Alice Waters explica por que una revolucion socialista no solo es posible. Mas importante aun, explica por que las luchas revolucionarias del pueblo trabajador son inevitables: no seran iniciadas por los trabajadores y agricultores, sino que nos las impondran los ataques de la clase patronal-impulsados por las crisis-contra nuestro nivel de vida y condiciones de trabajo ... contra nuestra propia humanidad. Al ir creciendo la solidaridad entre una vanguardia combative del pueblo trabajador, se divisan ya los contornos de batallas de clases por venir. "Sorprendentemente presiente, dado el presente clima economico. Ademas de hablar sobre la economia, tambien habla a fondo sobre la creciente poblacion inmigrante en Estados Unidos y su importancia para el movimiento socialista.

In two talks, presented as part of a wide-ranging debate at the annual Venezuela Book Fairs in 2007 and 2008, Mary-Alice Waters explains why a socialist revolution is not only possible.

As solidarity grows among a fighting vanguard of working people, the outlines of coming class battles can already be seen. "Eerily prescient, given the current economic climate....

Pour penser qu''''une revolution socialiste n''''est pas possible aux Etats-Unis, il faut non seulement croire que les familles dirigeantes du monde imperialiste et leurs magiciens de l''''economie ont trouve une maniere de gerer le capitalisme.

Dans deux exposes faits dans le cadre d''''un large debat au Salon du livre du Venezuela en 2007 et 2008, Mary-Alice Waters explique pourquoi une revolution socialiste est non seulement possible. Plus important encore, dit-elle, les luttes revolutionnaires des travailleurs sont inevitables. Mais ces derniers ne vont pas les initier. Elles nous seront imposees par les attaques que la crise poussera la classe des employeurs a lancer contre nos conditions de vie et de travail - contre notre propre humanite.
