# Alice Waters Cooks Up a Food Revolution - Hardcover

by **Diane Stanley** (Author), **Jessie Hartland** (Illustrator)

**From the team behind the acclaimed _Ada Lovelace, Poet of Science_ comes a delicious and** "lively" (_Booklist_, starred review) **nonfiction picture book biography about pioneering chef Alice Waters who kickstarted the organic food movement.**

Whenever young Alice Waters tasted something delicious, like the sun-warmed berries from her family's garden or a crisp, ripe apple picked straight from the tree, she would remember it for the rest of her life. Later, as she tasted many more wonderful foods, she realized what made them so good--they were fresh and ripe, grown or made the old-fashioned way.

When Alice grew up, she opened a restaurant called Chez Panisse. As part of her quest to make delicious food, Alice sought out small, local farmers to provide the meat, dairy, and produce. The restaurant made her famous, but it did much more than that--it started a food revolution. Today, home cooks and chefs alike are all discovering the simple secret to the Best! Food! Ever! This book is a celebration of food, cooking, and the woman whose curiosity and devotion to flavor kickstarted America's interest in buying local, organic food.
