Edible Schoolyard video featuring Alice Waters Chez Panisse

My fun summer reading is the (authorized) biography of Alice Waters in the book called "Alice Waters and Chez Panisse: The Romantic, Impractical, Often Eccentric, Ultimately Brilliant Making of a Food Revolution". Lots of colorful characters play in this book and I'm only on chapter 6, Jeremiah 1973-75. The new chef is introduced.

"Jeremiah Tower looked, spoke, moved, and dressed like no one Alice Waters had ever met. He made sure Alice knew right away that he'd gone to Harvard." "He adored food."

I could feel the tension of not only the restaurant business at work here but of Alice's purest vision of Chez Panisse. Never mind that she owned only a small slice of her vision but she remained to be in control for the most part of the evolution of Chez Panisse. Interesting and enjoyable read so far at 3 pages per night, the pace I can go at right now given my schedule. We do what we must to in the book world to savor the pages!   

Alice Waters, 25 years later, continues to bring the organic slow food movement across the country to kids in Washington, DC and to her community in Berkeley with the Edible Schoolyard vision brought to fruition.
