I wanted to like this book. I greatly admire Alice Waters, and enjoy food memoirs, but this is, quite simply, not well written.

I first heard of Alice Waters through the series Salt Fat Acid Heat where Samin Nosrat talked about Chez Panisse and then visited her to make pasta. So it is fascinating to read this book, to go from the people's (often admiring) perspectives of Waters' ambition and skills, to her own retelling of her almost lackadaisical and languorous path to the Waters and Chez Panisse so revered now.

Notable things to me:
1. Waters is hilariously boy-crazy! Falling in love left, right, and centre wherever she goes. I would almost argue that she's similarly girl-crazy the way she introduces her female friends, very focused on their physical attributes!
2. Waters surrounded herself with a good group of like-minded people who inspired her to learn. She managed to incorporate so many aspects of her friendships (or friends' skills) into her passion restaurant, by being so involved in the culture, or counterculture. That even if she hadn't opened an restaurant, her life would have just been as full and so fulfilling in its own right, without this universal public stamp of approval for Chez Panisse.
3. How absolutely lucky Waters was, but also her absolute openness to these opportunities. I can imagine simultaneously how fun yet also frustrating it would be for me to have a friend or close relative like Waters. However, as a reader, fabulous to read of such a charmed life.

As Waters' mother told her, she has lived a life so many have dreamed of. It's such a product of a specific time and place, I truly cannot foresee a similar life trajectory for anyone who can make such a cultural impact.

This was a bit tone-deaf and reeked of privilege.

Would we all love to cook our food from scratch with organic locally grown seasonal produce and love our jobs? Yes.

Do we all have the time, money or energy to do this? No.

Does this book address wage, time and health inequality in regards to how we could love this way with our own limitations? No.

That aside, the writing was easy to read and I liked that it included photography.
