Good food depends almost entirely on good ingredients.

I love those tiny little onions in the spring that are so small they're almost like a little chive.
Alice Waters

Let things taste the way they are.

Teaching kids how to feed themselves and how to live in a community responsibly is the center of an education.
Alice Waters

Food should be cheap, and labor should be cheap, and everything should be the same no matter where you go whether it's a McDonald's in Germany or one in California, it should be the same. And this message is destroying cultures around the world. Needless to say, agriculture goes with it.

Image
To have a basic ingredient that can be prepared a million different ways is a beautiful thing.
Alice Waters
Image
I want every child in America to eat a nutritious, delicious, sustainably sourced school lunch for free.

This is the power of gathering: it inspires us, delightfully, to be more hopeful, more joyful, more thoughtful: in a word, more alive.

Image
I feel that good food should be a right and not a privilege, and it needs to be without pesticides and herbicides. And everybody deserves this food. And that's not elitist.
Alice Waters
Image
I believe that every child in this world needs to have a relationship with the land...to know how to nourish themselves...and to know how to connect with the community around them.

I do feel like food should cost more, because we aren't paying farmers a living wage. It has to cost more.

Image
When you're really considering all the qualities of food, purity is right there at the top of the list. I'm unwilling to eat food that has been adulterated.

If Ive gone to the market on Saturday, and I go another time on Tuesday, then Im really prepared. I can cook a little piece of fish I can wilt some greens with garlic I can slice tomatoes and put a little olive oil on. Its effortless.
Alice Waters

It is a fundamental fact that no cook, however creative and capable, can produce a dish of a quality any higher than that of its raw ingredients.

Create a garden bring children to farms for field trips. I think its important that parents and teachers get together to do one or two things they can accomplish well - a teaching garden, connecting with farms nearby, weave food into the curriculum.
Alice Waters
Image
The way we subsidize food makes it cheaper to go to McDonald's and get a hamburger than a salad, and that's insane. It's pure government policy.
Alice Waters
Image
Always explore your garden and go to the market before you decide what cook.
Alice Waters
Image
The problem with living in a fast-food nation is that we expect food to be cheap.
Alice Waters
Image
We still need to learn how to talk about food and education, because they haven't been talked about together, really. Education depends on our good health. It depends on our understanding of the environment and somehow we got those separate.
Alice Waters
Image
In terms of kids not liking the food, I am shocked. I know that it's not true. I know that when kids are not educated about healthy food, they have a resistance to it. The resistance comes, again, from the fast-food culture.
