Reviews
"One of the architects of California cuisine, Alice Waters reveals her rise to Chez Panisse fame in her latest memoir. Waters has never been shy about telling her story, but this book goes further back than most of her earlier work." --Eater "You'll get lost in [Waters's] palpable passion, all the while learning about her love for ros, her genius way to make mayo and that time she turned down a dinner with John Lennon." --Tasting Table "[Waters] does an artful job of showing how even the most apparently unrelated experiences helped lead her to her profession. She is also quite frank about her failures; her relationships with lovers, friends, and colleagues; and her pride in remaining a part of the 1960's counterculture that nourished her. An almost charmed restaurant life that exhales the sweet aromas of honesty and self-awareness." --Kirkus Reviews, "[Waters] does an artful job of showing how even the most apparently unrelated experiences helped lead her to her profession.

Waters comes across as intelligent, creative, intuitive, exacting, brave and, always, learning." --Chicago Tribune Notable Press: New York Times bestseller in Hardcover Nonfiction Publishers Weekly bestseller in Hardcover Nonfiction Los Angeles Times bestseller in Hardcover Nonfiction IndieBound bestseller in Hardcover Nonfiction Fall 2017 Most Anticipated Books --Publishers Weekly Ten Cookbooks for Fall --USA Today What to Read This Month --Vanity Fair 50 New Books to Read in Fall 2017 --PureWow

Synopsis
The New York Times bestselling and critically acclaimed memoir from cultural icon and culinary standard bearer Alice Waters recalls the circuitous road and tumultuous times leading to the opening of what is arguably America's most influential restaurant. When Alice Waters opened the doors of her "little French restaurant" in Berkeley, California in 1971 at the age of 27, no one ever anticipated the indelible mark it would leave on the culinary landscape--Alice least of all. Fueled in equal parts by naiveté and a relentless pursuit of beauty and pure flavor, she turned her passion project into an iconic institution that redefined American cuisine for generations of chefs and food lovers. In Coming to My Senses Alice retraces the events that led her to 1517 Shattuck Avenue and the tumultuous times that emboldened her to find her own voice as a cook when the prevailing food culture was embracing convenience and uniformity. Moving from a repressive suburban upbringing to Berkeley in 1964 at the height of the Free Speech Movement and campus unrest, she was drawn into a bohemian circle of charismatic figures whose views on design, politics, film, and food would ultimately inform the unique culture on which Chez Panisse was founded. Dotted with stories, recipes, photographs, and letters, Coming to My Senses is at once deeply personal and modestly understated, a quietly revealing look at one woman's evolution from a rebellious yet impressionable follower to a respected activist who effects social and political change on a global level through the common bond of food., The New York Times bestselling and critically acclaimed memoir from cultural icon and culinary standard bearer Alice Waters recalls the circuitous road and tumultuous times leading to the opening of what is arguably America's most influential restaurant.
