Alice Waters never cared about making money. After more than 50 years in business, she still doesn't. She opened her restaurant, Chez Panisse, with money that friends and family lent her. They had no expectations of ever seeing it again. It's no surprise, given she's sparked a slow food revolution where consuming food slowly and resisting the industrial food system is the name of the game. Some call her the “mother of the farm-to-table movement”. Alice says: it's just the way things ought to be. In this episode of 9 to 5ish, Alice shares: The visit to a certain European country that changed the trajectory of her life How disrupting the traditional hierarchy of kitchens kept Chez Panisse alive Why she doesn't care about money – and when she maybe should've The last thing her mom said to her, and how having supportive parents shaped her career Learn more about your ad choices.

Today we're joined by arguably the most iconic female chef in the country in the legendary Sally Clarke, who's been the owner and chef patron at Clarke's in Kensington for over 41 years. Sally ironically failed her O level in cookery and yet has gone on to become one of the most successful chef and restaurant owners in the country. Clarke's is a London institution and the restaurant is the favourite of everyone from Mick Jagger to Bono - David Hockney to Paul Smith and all in between. In only her 2nd ever audio interview, Sally reveals how she fell in love with food through the books of Elizabeth David and her travels across France as a child. However it was when she headed to study at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris in the early 70s when she knew that this was going to be her life. Having worked at 3 of the most famous restaurants in the City she came back to London to work alongside Pru Leith at her cookery school, but within a year found herself moving to live in California to work at some of the greatest new age restaurants. It was here she met and fell in love with Alice Waters and Chez Panisse, and was inspired 5 years later in 1983 to return to London and set up Clarke's following in the same farm to table ethos and daily changing set menu as her culinary hero and friend. However, setting up a restaurant as a female head chef and owner wasn't easy in the early 1980s and we hear about; the disastrous problems she encountered, and rude sexist male customers and suppliers she had to deal with. We also hear about her friendship with Lucian Freud who used to eat breakfast and lunch at the restaurant everyday and how she had the privilege of being the last person ever to sit for him. Also, alongside the restaurant Sally runs an incredibly successful commercial bakery that sells over 90,000 handmade Mince Pies each year and beat all her Parisian competition to provide the pastries for the Eurostar. Sally very kindly also shares her secrets to success including; how to create the ultimate menu, the 'Art Of The Table, how to treat your customers and why she never ever gives her customers the bill. ------------------Please leave us a great rating and a comment and share it with your friends - it really helps us grow as a show.If you're in the industry and are looking for the greatest POS system in the world than look no further as Blinq are tearing up the rulebook—no long-term contracts, no hidden fees, and no per-device charges.

The legendary founder of Chez Panisse and the Edible Schoolyard Project talks to José about beauty, our senses and the trip that changed everything — for her and for American cuisine.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In this very special episode, we re-visit our conversation with award-winning Chez Panisse chef and cookbook author Alice Waters who discusses the value of real, regenerative food for our children and our society as a whole. “Once you love nature, you can't make the wrong decision about anything. You don't want to do things that are really destroying the planet. You want to take care of her. Until we feel that way, we will never be able to make the right decisions,” she says.Waters founded Edible Schoolyard, an experiential learning program at a Berkeley middle school that deepens students' relationship with food, gardening and cooking skills, and capacity for critical examination of the food system, more than 25 years ago. “The kitchen classroom became a place to teach world history. It's a way to reach a person through all their senses and those are pathways into our minds,” states Waters. “We decided to put our money behind our values to educate the next generation to change the world. I so believe that education is the deep place where we can make systemic change.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

#170: Alice Waters' focus on educating young minds about where real food comes from, how to identify and prepare it, and how food relates to all facets of our lives and cultures has inspired many. She shared her latest plans and emotional motivations with Dave in California in January of 2024, as part of a broader conversation about the organic movement.Alice Waters is the founder and owner of Chez Panisse restaurant in Berkeley, California, known throughout the world for its dedication to local and organic foods and seen by many as the first restaurant to offer what's become known as California Cuisine. She is a huge advocate of improving school lunches in the US and is the creator of Edible Schoolyard, a curriculum that brings gardens and kitchens into public education. Alice is a Real Organic Project Advisory Board member.To watch a video version of this podcast please visit:https://www.realorganicproject.org/alice-waters-organic-food-in-our-schools-now-episode-one-hundred-seventyThe Real Organic Podcast is hosted by Dave Chapman and Linley Dixon, engineered by Brandon StCyr, and edited and produced by Jenny Prince.The Real Organic Project is a farmer-led movement working towards certifying 1,000 farms across the United States this year. Our add-on food label distinguishes soil-grown fruits and vegetables from hydroponically-raised produce, and pasture-raised meat, milk, and eggs from products harvested from animals in horrific confinement (CAFOs - confined animal feeding operations).To find a Real Organic farm near you, please visit:https://www.realorganicproject.org/farmsWe believe that the organic standards, with their focus on soil health, biodiversity, and animal welfare were written as they should be, but that the current lack of enforcement of those standards is jeopardizing the ability for small farms who adhere to the law to stay in business. The lack of enforcement is also jeopardizing the overall health of the customers who support the organic movement; customers who are not getting what they pay for at market but still paying a premium price. And the lack of enforcement is jeopardizing the very cycles (water, air, nutrients) that Earth relies upon to provide us all with a place to live, by pushing extractive, chemical agriculture to the forefront.If you like what you hear and are feeling inspired, we would love for you to join our movement by becoming one of our 1,000 Real Fans!https://www.realorganicproject.org/1000-real-fans/To read our weekly newsletter (which might just be the most forwarded newsletter on the internet!) and get firsthand news about what's happening with organic food, farming and policy, please subscribe here:https://www.realorganicproject.org/email/

As we await the beautiful produce that will soon be arriving at our Farmer's Markets, I thought it would be a good time to celebrate Spring with this encore piece featuring Alice Waters. Always remember to take a moment and Savor the Day! Chef Alice Waters is a counterculture culinary hero who has helped pioneer the farm to table movement in the United States at her iconic restaurant Chez Panisse. At age four, she won a costume contest dressed as “Queen of the Garden” that featured produce from her parents' Victory Garden. This win was just a mere glimpse into her future as an award winning chef, cookbook author, philanthropist, activist and advocate for sustainability and freshly grown produce. Recently, Chef Alice Waters graciously greeted me at her Chez Panisse office in Berkeley. A lovely glass teapot sat atop the small round table. She had filled the teapot with her favorite recipe from the garden — fresh mint with hot water. We sipped and chatted about her latest book Coming to My Senses: The Making of A Counterculture Cook. She shared stories and lessons from her edible education including life changing moments in France when she discovered the incomparable tastes of the farmers markets, including les fraises des bois (strawberries from the woods). Chef Alice Waters brought back the literal and figurative seeds that would become the harvest of a delicious revolution. The actual seeds she planted in her backyard at Berkeley were the ingredients of a Mesclun Salad originating in Provence, France. Almost every dish at Chez Panisse has a little salad. Chef Waters explains, “A salad punctuates something that is rich and brings balance to the plate.” Her favorite quotes include: “The destiny of nations depends upon the manner in which they were fed” Brillat-Savarin and “We are what we eat.” Chef Alice Waters explains that “When you eat fast food, you eat the values of the fast-food culture – that farming and cooking are drudgery. Food is something precious and should not be wasted.” Her passion for sharing this lesson with others, especially children, became the impetus of The Edible Schoolyard Project. Chef Waters emphasizes a key tenet to an edible education: “Don't ever compromise the idea of sustainability. That's the bottomline.”
Our guest is Calvin Trillin. The journalist, humorist, poet, and novelist started his professional career in the early 1960's at Time Magazine, and soon after became a staff writer for The New Yorker, where he continues to contribute. He also writes for The Nation. He is the author of 32 books, including memoir, novels, verse, and food writing. His new book,“The Lede: Dispatches From A Life in the Press”, collects writings about journalism and its practitioners. This conversation with writer Steven Winn was recorded at the studios of KQED in San Francisco on February 22, 2024. This was hardly Trillin's first appearance on City Arts & Lectures - he's been on our stage more than any other guest, a total of 19 times since his first appearance in 1982. So we close out this hour with excerpts from three of those programs that showcase some of Trillin's many talents beyond serious journalism. Calvin Trillin began writing about regional food specialties during his travels as a reporter, and then in books like “American Fried” and “Alice, Let's Eat”. In 2008, Trillin was joined by two distinguished women of the culinary world, former Gourmet magazine editor Ruth Reichl. and the founder of Berkeley's Chez Panisse, Alice Waters - to discuss one of his obsessions – Buffalo chicken wings. Calvin Trillin also developed a journalistic sideline that he describes as “Deadline Poet” and in 2012, he explained how that got started to Steven Winn. And finally, no Calvin Trillin City Arts & Lectures program would be complete without the story of the tic-tac-toe-playing chicken of New York's Chinatown. In a 1998 appearance, Trillin introduced the chicken to actor and comedian Robin Williams and interviewer Wendy Lesser.
Andy Baraghani started his professional cooking career as a teenager at the legendary Berkeley, California, restaurant Chez Panisse, and he was truly just getting started. After working as a line cook at Estela in New York City, he was hired as the food editor at Tasting Table and eventually found his way to the Bon Appétit test kitchen, where he worked for over six years and won the hearts of many with his exceptional cooking instruction and his own kind heart. Andy's rich story and sharp recipe writing chops come together so beautifully in his book, The Cook You Want to Be, published two years ago. So what has Andy been up to? It turns out, plenty—both online and offline. Here we catch up about what is good in the Baraghani universe, and it's clear Andy is the guy he wants to be.Also on the episode, we hear from Christian Reynoso about the recent TASTE feature he wrote describing his time working at San Francisco's Zuni Café and the legacy of the cookbook that remains an absolute classic.Do you enjoy This Is TASTE?

We head east to enter into a conversation with Lindsay Gott, who is growing a tasty brand of frozen baked goods, Gateaux, from Hood River, Oregon. Lindsay worked at one of the world's powerhouse ad agencies for years, when she had the calling to cook, and found her way to Paris and Le Cordon Bleu and then cooking in excellent restaurants like Chez Panisse. Knowing she didn't want to work in restaurants, per se, she fell in love with a man from Oregon and moved north from the Bay Area, eventually selling her goods at a local Hood River farmers market. From there, she opened a deli and bakery. Then, the pandemic storm hit and she began developing and honing her frozen goods for retail sales. Now her Gateaux cakes can be found in grocery stores throughout the Northwest, including Zupan's, and now Lindsay has eyes on new, larger markets. Lindsay takes through her journey from concept, selling, naming, packaging, producing, and more, right to grocer's freezer case, to table. Right at the Fork listeners will also benefit by Lindsay's 20 years of food loving in Hood River, as she shares over a dozen of her favorite places to imbibe in the area. @gateaux_frozenforfoodies Right at the Fork is supported by: Zupan's Markets: www.zupans.com RingSide Steakhouse: www.RingSideSteakhouse.com Learn more about Chris' trips here: www.PortlandFoodAdventures.com

Aura Bora is a sparkling water that pushes the limits of sparkling water. Founded by Paul Voge, it's a company that prides itself on spiking its cans of water with herbs, fruits, and flowers for earthly tastes and heavenly feelings. (True to the claim, we certainly had some feelings when we tried their green bean casserole concoction.) Paul, a guest on today's show, has incredible taste and is bursting with passion for his waters. We talk about his journey and how he comes up with flavors that include chai cranberry, persimmon clove, and peppermint watermelon. If you haven't tried Aura Bora, you don't know what you're missing. Also on the show, Matt is back from a California road trip and gives some of his highlights, including The Duchess and The Summit in Ojai, Bell's in Los Alamos, Ad Astra Bread in Monterey, Cat & Cloud Coffee in Santa Cruz, Itani Ramen and Fentons Creamery in Oakland, the cafe at Chez Panisse in Berkeley(!), Ad Hoc and Mustards Grill in Yountville, and El Molino Central in Sonoma.Want to partner with TASTE?

During the pandemic, I learned to love cooking. I picked up a copy of the Art of Simple Cooking ad started experimenting with salad dressings, pie dough, and breads. My guest today is who I have to thank for that. Alice Waters built her restaurant, Chez Panisse, off of the food culture in France, where she visited at 19, and the values of Maria Montessori. Waters focused on organic, local, and seasonal produce and paid the farmers - not the distributors - the price for their crops. In 1995, Alice founded the Edible Schoolyard Project, an initiative that engages students in growing and cooking their own food as part of school curriculum. Today, Chez Panisse remains at its original location in Berkeley after 50 years. Since the last time we talked in March of 2021, Alice opened a new restaurant in Los Angeles called Lulu with the former head chef at Chez Panisse, David Tanis, announced the creation of the Alice Water Institute for Edible Education at UC Davis, and wrote a book. She shared with us today that she's organizing an event called Climate, Food, Hope on the National Mall this October before the presidential elections. As you might have guessed, I won't be publishing episodes as frequently as once a week anymore; I've gone into high school but still want to bring important conversations like this to you every few months.

Hi there. First today: We're remembering beloved photographer Aubrie Pick, who tragically passed away last week after a battle with cancer. Aubrie's work was stunning and personal, and she was a visionary creative force in the Bay Area. Elana Kadvany writes in the San Francisco Chronicle: Pick's images — vibrant and charismatic, like the photographer herself, collaborators said — have left an indelible mark on the national food scene, and particularly in the Bay Area. Pick photographed numerous high-profile cookbooks, from celebrity chef Chrissy Teigen's “Cravings” and Bay Area chef Tanya Holland's “California Soul” to Andrea Nguyen's “Vietnamese Food Any Day.” Her photos were featured on the covers of Bon Appetit and Food & Wine magazines. She captured Chez Panisse owner Alice Waters in her Berkeley backyard, and caught the light falling just so across a set restaurant table. There is an ongoing GoFundMe to support Aubrie's husband Erik and 2-year-old daughter Romy here.

To that end, we met with food revolutionary and founder of Chez Panisse, Alice Waters, to return to our roots. Beginning with the free speech movements of the 60's, Waters embarked on an improbable quest to reconnect us to ourselves through the organic and regenerative husbandry of the earth. Moving from her kitchen table, to the restaurant, to prison gardens, to gardens for the homeless and on to a national network of Edible Schoolyards, Waters aspires to open the fullness of our human senses to inspire wholesome human behavior. Listen in to hear how "We are what we eat" might make us the best we can be. Join us.

“This experience felt very unique because it was deeply authentic. They were walking the ranch with the rancher. They were eating food that was not only grown onsite, but then also sourced from the cheesemakers, the oyster farms, the beekeepers, and they were even meeting those producers.” We're in great company with David Rust, Founder and CEO of SAGRA, a new collection of curated individual Farm Stays and experiential Farm Retreats in partnership with regenerative farms across the US where guests have the opportunity to connect with each other, the sources of our food, and the people who thoughtfully grow it. Whether staying in a quaint private home on a dairy farm, taking a glamping adventure on the coast of a shellfish estuary, or savoring fully-serviced accommodations amongst seasonal produce, the SAGRA experience is the perfect home base for a day of exploration on the farm, unwinding in a serene natural setting, visiting nearby sights and shops, tasting the freshest food, and connecting with the people who passionately produce it. In this episode, David shares how an interest since childhood led to a passion for a new business concept and activism in a community looking to make farming more relatable and accessible as we look forward to a new food future. Top Takeaways [1:40] How growing up visiting his extended family's farm in Germany and agriturismo in Italy turned into a passion for farming and understanding farm culture in his adult life, even while pursuing different careers across different cities. [7:00] It was both a slow progression and a special moment in time that brought David and his co-founders to create and actively pursue the concept of SAGRA. [11:10] “Get your hands dirty, or don't.” David shares more about his mission in making agriculture accessible to everyone, regardless of their level of interest or experience. [13:40] A look back to the beginnings of SAGRA in 2019 when David joined forces with the family behind Stemple Creek Ranch, a regenerative rotational grazing cattle ranch in Northern California, to prototype and practice this agricultural hospitality experience before opening an east coast experience, Hill Farm in Vermont. [17:20] How SAGRA is part of a broader food and farm community, “Whether it's Dan Barber or Alice Waters, they're deeply passionate about telling a story, whether through cooking food, making a restaurant, or in our case allowing you to book a stay.” [20:10] The meaning behind “SAGRA,” an Italian word for a harvest festival, a celebration of food and community. [24:45] David explains how “hope and active optimism are powerful tools for change”, both for regenerative farmers and their guests who seek out to experience and learn more about those better ways. [31:20] Meet the 4 Farm Stays joining the SAGRA family this fall: Studio Hill in Shaftsbury, VT, Reverence Farms in Saxapahaw, NC, Silver Penny Farm in Petaluma, CA and Zuma Canyon Orchids in Malibu, CA. [42:20] What David and his team at SAGRA are looking for in future Farm Stay locations, experiences, and types of farms, sharing their stories and supporting their businesses by broadening awareness and appreciation, one stay at a time.

Cal Peternell was the head chef of legendary Bay Area restaurant Chez Panisse in Berkeley, California, for over 20 years, where he served celebrity patrons and trained a new generation of chefs. He's the New York Times best-selling author of Twelve Recipes and A Recipe for Cooking. His most recent book is the revealing and erudite Burnt Toast and Other Disasters. On this episode, we hear some good Chez Panisse stories, and we talk about Cal's move to the East Coast. We also discuss his cookbook career—and his interpretation of that “figs on a plate” incident from a few years back. Also on the show we have a fascinating conversation with Nasim Alikhani, the chef and cookbook author behind Brooklyn's mega-popular Iranian restaurant, Sofreh.

Debbie Shore is co-founder of Share Our Strength, which has fed close to 2 billion meals to hungry children since their campaign, No Kid Hungry, began. (That's billion with a B, folks!) Today's episode is full of stories and insights from that remarkable journey that will give you many nuggets of inspiration and ingenious thinking to take into your own path to make the world a little better place. 00:00 Preview 00:46 Intro & Welcome 04:16Share Our Strength Sharing Strength is the most thought about of the organisation's 5 core values. The feeling of wanting to be connected to something bigger than yourself and finding value in what people bring to the table is embodied in the name of the organization. Enough people will respond to the call if the right vehicle or platform is presented. In the case of Share Our Strength, the vehicle is ending hunger. 04:42 The Great Questioning During the pandemic, more people questioned what impact the work they were would have on the world and on their own well being. More people focused on discovering what they were uniquely built to contribute. The path taken by Share Our Strength has changed and grown over the years but the vision to find ways for people to share their strengths to end hunger has sustained. The core belief of the organisation was that everybody has a strength to share. The original idea of working with chefs & the restaurant industry paid off as restaurants became the lifeblood of the organization. A New York Times article about a famine in Ethiopia in 1984 sparked the idea for the organization. The organization started with personal funds & loans and contributions from friends and family members. One of the first big donors, Chef Alice Waters from Chez Panisse in Berkeley California, is being honored this week. Chef Waters responded to a cold letter with a generous check and by sending letters to fellow chefs who also responded. That started the chain of events with restaurants across the country. The fundraising platforms allow contributors to engage in their passions by giving people the opportunity to contribute by doing what they do for a living. People want to be engaged in things they care about and be a part of something bigger than themselves. Volunteering to do something you care about can lead to discovering your calling and may lead to greater opportunities. Peoples' energy is found in their passion. 12:41 Food Is Life Food is central and fundamental to all our cores. While we thank our stakeholders for their efforts, they usually thank us for allowing them to be a part of the solution and feel connected. According to Christoph Gorder of Charity Water, ‘This is a problem we know how to solve'. There are many problems in this world that we don't know how to solve, so we have to step up to solve the ones when the solution is known. World hunger is not necessarily a complex problem but there are barriers of access. 1 in 8 kids in America struggle with hunger even though several meal programs exist. The focus of Share Our Strength was to identify the barriers that exist in schools. Barriers include: The stigma associated with having to access school meals Timing around getting into school to access meals Lack of information Efforts to reduce barriers include: Changing the way meals are distributed at schools Working toward eliminating any special lunch lines Eliminating any special or coloured tickets for provided meals Start serving breakfast in the classroom 3 million kids have now been added to school breakfast. Breakfast in the classroom tends to stay once introduced because of improvements in areas such as: Attendance Readiness to learn Schoolwork Test results Behaviour Less need for fidget spinners 18:50 Hunger is Invisible Starvation in places like Ethiopia is easier to identify than an issue like hunger in America. The awareness barrier is huge in a country that is considered one of the richest countries in the world...

They talk about what it was like to both grow up with famous mothers (Singer is the daughter of Alice Waters, the food icon and chef behind Chez Panisse). And Singer shares why she's finally given herself permission to engage with her mother's work. They chat about the connection between art and food, where they find beauty, and what cooking—and sharing—a meal means to them. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
