Chef and Farm-to-Table Innovator Alice Waters with Bestselling Cookbook Author Justine Doiron, aka “Justine Snacks”

Alice Waters is an award-winning chef and the founder/owner of Chez Panisse restaurant in Berkeley, California, where she launched the farm-to-table movement.  As vice president of Slow Food International and founder of the Edible Schoolyard Project, she has helped bring food awareness to people of all ages all over the world.  Her latest title, A School Lunch Revolution: A Cookbook, is a blueprint for a "revolution" that removes the processing and packaging from the farm-to-lunchroom pipeline.  The multigenerational cookbook for adults and children alike champions an empowered relationship between students and organic food, offering delicious recipes that will nourish future generations—and ourselves—from the inside out.  This beloved chef has won numerous awards-- the National Humanities Medal, the French Legion of Honor Medal, the Cavaliere of the Italian Republic, the Julia Child Award, and three James Beard Awards, including being the first woman named Best Chef in America.  These principles guide her recipes for memorable, organic meals:  local and seasonal, affordable, diverse, simple and delicious, and beautiful.
