Alice Waters on Obama's "Kitchen" Cabinet!

Do you know Alice Waters? She is the revolutionary chef and proprietor of Chez Panisse in Berkley, California. Her ability to link farmers, community leaders, home cooks, and professional culinarians has begun the "local" revolution. Food Creates Community evolved from discussions concerning our commitment to local ingredients and our desire to connect diverse people around the well appointed nourishing table.
