Americans don't have deep gastronomic roots. They wanted to get away from the cultures of Europe or wherever they came from. We stirred up that melting pot pretty quickly.
From Alice Waters
We have to bring children into a new relationship to food that connects them to culture and agriculture.
To have a basic ingredient that can be prepared a million different ways is a beautiful thing.
I try not to do anything that's immoral.
I eat meat, but no meat that isn't pastured is acceptable, and we probably need to eat a whole lot less.
Everything tastes better with butter. Meat that has fat in it is tender in a certain way, flavorful in a certain way. It's hard to deny the flavor quotient there.
Grass-fed cattle are leaner. But it's not true that they are less flavorful.
I don't think it ever works to tell people what they can't eat. They can do it for so long, and then they fall off. You have to bring them into a new relationship with food.
Food can be very transformational, and it can be more than just about a dish. That's what happened to me when I first went to France. I fell in love. And if you fall in love, well, then everything is easy.
I am an optimist of the first order.
