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.

Eating is an environmental act.

Good food depends almost entirely on good ingredients.
Alice Waters

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
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.

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.

I think Americas food culture is embedded in fast-food culture. And the real question that we have is: How are we going to teach slow-food values in a fast-food world? Of course, its very, very difficult to do, especially when children have grown up eating fast food and the values that go with that.

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

Good food is a right, not a privilege. It brings children into a positive relationship with their health, community and environment.

Let things taste of what they are.

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.

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

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.

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