The New York Times bestselling and critically acclaimed memoir from 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 naivet 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. In Coming to My Senses Alice retraces the events that led her to 1517 Shattuck Avenue and the tumultuous times that emboldened her to find her own voice as a cook when the prevailing food culture was embracing convenience and uniformity. Moving from a repressive suburban upbringing to Berkeley in 1964 at the height of the Free Speech Movement and campus unrest, she was drawn into a bohemian circle of charismatic figures whose views on design, politics, film, and food would ultimately inform the unique culture on which Chez Panisse was founded. Dotted with stories, recipes, photographs, and letters, Coming to My Senses is at once deeply personal and modestly understated, a quietly revealing look at one woman's evolution from a rebellious yet impressionable follower to a respected activist who effects social and political change on a global level through the common bond of food.Binding Type: Paperback

Nice personal item for travel
Color: Black
I recently used this bag on my cruise. It fits perfectly under the seat for a personal item. The quality is nice and the bag is spacious to back many items. The only thing I didn’t like is that I kept having to adjust the straps due to them coming loose.

Hidden Gem!
Color: Desert
Huge and suitcase like on the inside. The zipper is the same color as the backpack and looks luxurious. Very soft and cushy even with heavy stuff in it. Like a laptop. Which there is a specific place for it that is cushioned. But my favorite by far is the clear pockets on the inside. I like that you can see what your getting out of your bag and where to find what. Also the outside pockets are really useful! And kinda incognito which is great for if you want to put valuables there. You can use this for travel, school and work. It's very versatile. Very good for organization. Comgortable and easygoing. Quality is 5/5.

Lovely Bag
Absolutely love this bag. The strap is a little tricky to adjust but once you do it’s are perfect. The whole thing came in a duster bag with material to protect the interior and integrity of the shape. Great product.
