Waters believes that passion, not money, should be one's guide in designging a career and a life.
Alice Waters is a chef, author, activist and pioneer at the forefront of the locally grown, organic food movement. Hailed as "the mother of American cooking," she opened her visionary restaurant, Chez Panisse, in Berkeley, California, in 1971. Her commitment to finding the highest-quality, seasonal ingredients and using a simple, improvisational approach sparked a tidal wave in American cuisine. For the last four decades, the restaurant has consistently ranked among the "World's 50 Best Restaurants" and has cultivated a community of local farmers, ranchers, and other suppliers who share Waters's vision of delectable, sustainable agriculture. Waters has authored eight books on food and cooking, including Chez Panisse Cooking and The Art of Simple Food. She founded the Chez Panisse Foundation in 1996, and created the Edible Schoolyard program, which brings organic gardens, kitchen classrooms, and sustainable food curriculum to several public schools across the country. In 1992, she became the first woman named "Best Chef in America" by the James Beard Foundation, and in 1997, received the organization's Humanitarian Award.
