Alice Waters
Alice Waters is a chef, author, and food activist, and the founder and owner of Berkeley’s Chez Panisse Restaurant (est. 1971). In 2015 she was awarded the National Humanities Medal by President Obama, proving that eating is a political act, and that the table is a powerful means to social justice and positive change. The creator of the Berkeley-born Edible Schoolyard Project providing hands-on “edible education” to schoolchildren, Alice is the author of fifteen books, including The New York Times bestsellers “The Art of Simple Food I & II,” and a memoir, “Coming to My Senses: The Making of a Counterculture Cook.”
