Alice Waters, born 28 Apr 1944

Exhibition Label

Born Chatham, New Jersey
Chef, author, local food pioneer, and sustainable agriculture advocate Alice Waters has long championed a culinary philosophy centered on the importance of preparing and serving only the freshest, in-season, organic products. Since its founding in 1971, her award-winning Chez Panisse Restaurant in Berkeley, California, has been at the forefront of a “delicious revolution” dedicated to challenging and changing the way that people think about food. The success of Waters’s farm-to-table campaign can be measured in part by the exponential increase in the number of restaurants, farmers’ markets, and mainstream grocery stores that now feature locally grown produce. Waters has also been the driving force behind the Edible Schoolyard movement, whose goal is to give students the opportunity to take an active part in all aspects of the food cycle—from cultivation to consumption.
Waters gazes into the distance in this photograph, which was taken in the Edible Schoolyard garden she established in Berkeley in 1998.
Alice Waters nacida en 1944
Nacida en Chatham, Nueva Jersey
Chef, autora, pionera de la gastronomía local y defensora de la agricultura sustentable, Alice Waters aboga desde hace mucho por una filosofía culinaria centrada en la importancia de preparar y servir solo los productos más frescos, de temporada y orgánicos. Desde su fundación en 1971, su premiado restaurante Chez Panisse en Berkeley, California, ha estado a la vanguardia de una “deliciosa revolución” dedicada a desafiar y cambiar la opinión de la gente sobre la comida. El éxito de su campaña “de la finca a la mesa” queda evidenciado en el aumento exponencial de restaurantes, mercados agrícolas y supermercados convencionales que ahora venden productos cultivados localmente. Waters también ha sido la fuerza motriz del movimiento Edible Schoolyard, que busca ofrecer a los estudiantes la oportunidad de participar activamente en todos los aspectos del ciclo alimentario, desde el cultivo hasta el consumo.
Waters mira a la distancia en esta fotografía tomada en el huerto Edible Schoolyard que estableció en Berkeley en 1998.
