Alice Waters Quotes

We have to understand that we want to pay the farmers the real price for the food that they produce. It won't ever be cheap to buy real food. But it can be affordable. It's really something that we need to understand. It's the kind of work that it takes to grow food. We don't understand that piece of it.
We make decisions every day about what we're going to eat. And some people want to buy Nike shoes - two pairs, and other people want to eat Bronx grapes and nourish themselves. I pay a little extra, but this is what I want to do.
We need to have a course in school that teaches about ecology and gastronomy. I could imagine that all children could eat at school for free and that the cafeteria would become part of the school's curriculum.
We've been so disconnected agriculturally and culturally from food. We spend more time on dieting than on cooking.
When I first went to Paris in 1965, I fell in love with the small, family-owned restaurants that existed everywhere then, as well as the markets and the French obsession with buying fresh food, often twice a day.
When you don't have much money, cooking can be incredibly reassuring. You feel like you're doing meaningful work.
When you have good ingredients, cooking doesn't require a lot of instruction because you can never go very wrong.
Whenever I want to know how to cook something, I can't ask one chef - I have to ask six.
You do need some dispensation for local farmers, because the fast food industry will promote the unsanitary conditions of farming. With vegetables, you have to be careful where they come from; you have to know the farmers and trust them. If you buy from the farmers' market, it's already been investigated.
You have to take it upon yourself and preserve and can foods that you'll want for the winter.
