Alice Waters: Restaurateur, author, activist in Houston! Presented by Progressive Forum & Urban Harvest

A pioneer of the sustainable-local food movement since she established her famous restaurant in Berkeley, Chez Panisse, Alice Waters has inspired chefs, farmers markets, and leaders of the food movement by using the freshest, local organic products, served only in season. The New York Times said, “More than any other single figure, she was instrumental in developing New American Cuisine.” Alice Waters also created the Edible Schoolyard, a national program teaching students all aspects of the food cycle, integrating a nutritious daily lunch and gardening experience into the academic curriculum of all public schools. Waters says, “Chez Panisse has been serving its guests not just food but ideas…. Most important is the universal idea that we have an obligation to support the farmers, fishermen, and ranchers who are taking care of our planet…” She’s the author of 11 books including The Art of Simple Food (2007) and 40 Years of Chez Panisse: The Power of Gathering (2011). She will sign books and greet fans at the end of the evening.
