It's about children cooking themselves, growing themselves. When kids grow it and cook it they eat it.

It's a comfort to always find pasta in the cupboard and garlic and parsley in the garden.

Good food depends almost entirely on good ingredients.

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.

I have a love affair with tomatoes and corn. I remember them from my childhood. I only had them in the summer. They were extraordinary.

We can't think narrowly. We have to think in the biggest possible way.

The dinner table is a rite of civilization and we need to participate in that to keep our families together, to keep our communities together.

Cooking and shopping for food brings rhythm and meaning to our lives.

Let things taste of what they are.

Change the food in the schools and we can influence how children think. Change the curriculum and teach them how to garden and how to cook and we can show that growing food and cooking and eating together give lasting richness, meaning, and beauty to our lives.

I feel it is an obligation to help people understand the relation of food to agriculture and the relationship of food to culture.

Teaching kids how to feed themselves and how to live in a community responsibly is the center of an education.
Alice Waters
Image
I really am at a place where I think we need to feed every child at school for free and feed them a real school lunch that's sustainable and nutritious and delicious. It needs to be part of the curriculum of the school in the same way that physical education was part of the curriculum, and all children participated.

I love those tiny little onions in the spring that are so small they're almost like a little chive.
Alice Waters
Image
Because only slow food can teach us the things that really matter - care, beauty, concentration, discernment, sensuality, all the best that humans are capable of, but only if we take the time to think about what we're eating.
Alice Waters
Image
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.

Always explore your garden and go to the market before you decide what cook.
Alice Waters

It's interesting that we are sensorially deprived. And not always because of poverty or hunger, but because we have been really indoctrinated into such a way that we don't sit in the present. Technology takes the place of food often.
