We Are What We Eat

de Alice Waters

"From chef and food activist Alice Waters, an impassioned plea for a radical reconsideration of the way each and every one of us cooks and eats"-- So many of the serious problems we face in the world today are all, at their core, connected to food. Waters believes that fast food culture, which prioritizes cheapness, availability, and speed, is not only ruining our health, but also dehumanizing the ways we live and relate to one another. Here she urges readers to return to slow food culture: locally sourced organic ingredients, and meals made by hand which will champion values such as biodiversity, seasonality, stewardship, and pleasure in work. -- adapted from jacket
