(*NEW ARRIVAL*) Alice Waters. Chez Panisse Vegetables *Signed*

Illustrated by Patricia Curtan. Jacket. First Edition. NY: Harper Collins, [1996].

Warmly inscribed & signed by Alice Waters to John Hudspeth on the half-title. Hudspeth was a sometime cook and organic produce supplier to Chez Panisse.

For twenty-five years, Alice Waters and her friends at Chez Panisse in Berkeley, California have dedicated themselves to the ideal of serving the finest, freshest foods with simplicity and style. From tender baby asparagus in early spring, to the colorful spectrum of peppers at the height of summer; crisp, leafy chicories in autumn, to sweet butternut squash in the dark of winter, much of the inspiration about what to put on the menu comes from the high quality produce Waters and her chefs seek out year-round. Fine.
