Podcast

This week we talk to the chef-founder of Chez Panisse, author, slow-food activist, educator and winner of multiple lifetime achievement awards: Alice Waters.

From dinners for friends at Chez Panisse to taking activism to the classroom with The Edible Schoolyard, her living legacy's making serious dents in the food system. Covering too much ground for one episode, we're taking it across two. Now, we're going back 50 years to when Alice's flavour enlightenment in France convinced her to open the doors of Chez Panisse back home in Berkeley, California.

We exist to fix the food system.

People are more cut off from the origins of their food than ever. This makes flavour, nutrition and farming practices that protect the planet, almost impossible to find.

By working directly with growers, we create a more sustainable way forward for farming. By giving everyone the tools to understand the power of our food choices, we empower everybody to become drivers of change.

Now is the time for action. Join the food system revolution.
