艾丽丝-沃特斯,厨师,作家。 她奉行只采用当季最新鲜的有机食材的烹饪哲学,在加州伯克利创办了潘尼斯之家餐厅(Chez Panisse)。在过去的39年间,潘尼斯之家已经同当地的致力于可持续农业理念的农民以及食品供应商结成了固定的合作关系,保证了潘尼斯之家餐厅长期 以来对纯净、新鲜食材的需求供应。
秉承着对于教育事业的热情,沃特斯女士于1996年在加州伯克利分校的马丁路德金中学发起了食用校园项目, 即在校园里建立起一个一英亩大小的菜园和一个烹饪课堂。食用校园是一个模型的公众教育计划,旨在为学生提供亲身实践体验包括种植、收割和烹饪的食物循环活 动的机会,使他们从中获得相关知识和理念,为建立一个倡导人性和可持续发展的未来做好准备。食用校园项目的成功之后也直接引领了“学校午餐计划”的创立, 该计划现已正式被全美的公立学校采纳,现在这些学校的学生不仅可以每天享用到营养健康的午餐,还可以学习到丰富的园艺技巧。
沃特斯女士同时还担任国际慢食协会的副主席。国际慢食协会是一个旨在促进和倡导使用本地手工种植食材理念的国际性非营利组织。该组织现已发展到 130多个国家,拥有超过10万成员。她同时还出版了八本著作,包括《艾丽丝-沃特斯的美食革命》,以及她最新的著作——《绿色厨房里小技巧》。

Alice Waters, chef, author, and proprietor of Chez Panisse Restaurant in Berkeley, California, is a pioneer of a culinary philosophy based on using only the freshest organic products, served only in season. Over the course of thirty-nine years, Chez Panisse has developed a network of local farmers and purveyors whose dedication to sustainable agriculture assures the restaurant a steady supply of pure, fresh ingredients。
Waters’ commitment to education led to the creation of The Edible Schoolyard, a one-acre garden and kitchen classroom at Berkeley’s Martin Luther King, Jr., Middle School. The Edible Schoolyard, started in 1996, is a model public education program that gives students the knowledge and values they need to build a humane and sustainable future by actively involving them in all aspects of the food cycle: planting, harvesting, and cooking. The success of The Edible Schoolyard has led to the School Lunch Initiative, which has as its national agenda the integration of a nutritious daily lunch and gardening experience into the academic curriculum of all the public schools in the United States。
Waters is Vice President of Slow Food International, a nonprofit organization that promotes and celebrates local artisanal food traditions and has more than 100,000 members in over 130 countries. She is the author of eight books, including The Art of Simple Food: Notes and Recipes from a Delicious Revolution and her most recent book, In the Green Kitchen: Techniques to Learn by Heart。
