Bookshop Santa Cruz celebrates 40 fabulous years of Chez Panisse, the Berkeley restaurant founded by Alice Waters. Chez Panisse's seasonal menus feature the finest sustainably-sourced, organic, and seasonal ingredients, and Alice Waters is a passionate advocate for a food economy that is “good, clean, and fair.”
If you can't secure a reservation at the restaurant (or its cafe upstairs), or if you are understandably inspired to cook as they do at Chez Panisse, be sure to pick up one of their fantastic cookbooks. (They are all excellent, but our personal favorite is Chez Panisse Vegetables.) Enjoy!
