Image
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.
Alice Waters
Image
It's a comfort to always find pasta in the cupboard and garlic and parsley in the garden.
Alice Waters
Image
I think the biggest impediment to fixing the food system in the United States is that we expect food to be cheap. We want to by other things with our money. We're so disconnected from agriculture - from the culture in agriculture.
Alice Waters
Image
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.
Alice Waters
Image
Cooking creates a sense of well-being for yourself and the people you love and brings beauty and meaning to everyday life. And all it requires is common sense – the common sense to eat seasonally, to know where your food comes from, to support and buy from local farmers and producers who are good stewards of our natural resources.

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.

How we eat can change the world
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
We can't think narrowly. We have to think in the biggest possible way.

Image
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
Image
Good food is a right, not a privilege. It brings children into a positive relationship with their health, community and environment.
Alice Waters
Image
I am confident that we will see a growing consensus about the most effective way to transform food in America: building a real, sustainable and free school-lunch program.
Alice Waters
Image
This is the power of gathering: it inspires us, delightfully, to be more hopeful, more joyful, more thoughtful: in a word, more alive.
Alice Waters
Image
The things most worth wanting are not available everywhere all the time.
Alice Waters
Image
I love those tiny little onions in the spring that are so small they're almost like a little chive.
Alice Waters
Image
I feel it is an obligation to help people understand the relation of food to agriculture and the relationship of food to culture.
Alice Waters
Image
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.
Alice Waters
Image
Always explore your garden and go to the market before you decide what cook.

Image
I want every child in America to eat a nutritious, delicious, sustainably sourced school lunch for free.
Alice Waters
Image
I believe there should be breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack, all for free and for every child that goes to school. And all food that is good, clean and fair. It's unfair to charge for food in schools, especially to charge for food that is making children sick.
