Description: Where do great meals begin? This book brings you straight to the source of wonderful flavors, beauty, abundance, and pride of place--the small farms of California and the people who tend them season after season. Celebrated chef and food activist Alice Waters introduces a remarkable group of resilient fresh-food artisans who are committed to keeping our food supply delicious, diverse, and safe--for humans and the planet. Meet the folks down on the farm and learn firsthand about the back-to-the-future small-farm economy that's gaining strength across America. Discover new tastes and memorable traditions. Explore local flavors, wit and wisdom along with the universal values of a food system that is "good, clean, and fair." Recreate a range of sumptuous yet simple meals with the farmers' own family recipes. Sustainable food is real food.--From publisher description.
