Well, here we are, into August already! How time sometimes flies. And at Cook the Books Club, we're zooming right into our next selection. Which for August/September is Coming to My Senses, The Making of A Counterculture Cook, a memoir by Alice Waters, that groundbreaking author and restauranteur. Famous for Chez Panisse, in Berkeley, California.
From the Publishers:
"Cultural icon and culinary standard bearer Alice Waters recalls the circuitous road and tumultuous times leading to the opening of what is arguably America's most influential restaurant.
When Alice Waters opened the doors of her "little French restaurant" in Berkeley, California in 1971 at the age of 27, no one ever anticipated the indelible mark it would leave on the culinary landscape—Alice least of all. Fueled in equal parts by naiveté and a relentless pursuit of beauty and pure flavor, she turned her passion project into an iconic institution that redefined American cuisine for generations of chefs and food lovers."
Also, the author of my most often used cookbook, The Art of Simple Food. I hope you will all enjoy the read and get inspired to cook up something delicious! Deadline for contributing your post is Tuesday, September 30, 2025. Be sure to let us know by putting your post link in the comments below.
