The things most worth wanting are not available everywhere all the time.

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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

When you have the best and tastiest ingredients, you can cook very simply and the food will be extraordinary because it tastes like what it is.
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.

Let things taste the way they are.

Eating is an environmental act.

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

Good food is a right, not a privilege. It brings children into a positive relationship with their health, community and environment.
Alice Waters
Image
We have to bring children into a new relationship to food that connects them to culture and agriculture.
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
We can't think narrowly. We have to think in the biggest possible way.

Image
I came to all the realizations about sustainability and biodiversity because I fell in love with the way food tastes. And because I was looking for that taste I feel at the doorsteps of the organic, local, sustainable farmers, dairy people and fisherman.

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.
