Alice Louise Waters (born 28 April 1944 in Chatham, New Jersey) is a well-known American chef. She is the founder and co-owner of Chez Panisse, the original California cuisine restaurant in Berkeley, California, as well as the informal Cafe Fanny in West Berkeley. She has been credited with developing California cuisine and has written or co-written several books on the subject, including the influential Chez Panisse Cooking (written with then-chef Paul Bertolli). She has also promoted organic and small farm products heavily in her restaurants, in her books, and in her Edible Schoolyard program in the public schools. Her ideas for "edible education" have been introduced into the entire Berkeley school system, and with the current crisis in childhood obesity, have attracted the attention of the national media.
Waters advocates eating locally produced foods that are in season, because she believes that the international shipment of mass-produced food is both harmful to the environment and produces an inferior product for the consumer.
Education
Waters' interest in the possibilities of fresh local ingredients were inspired by her visit to France in the summer of 1964 and, especially, a particular meal she had in Brittany: More on [ Alice Waters ]
