'So charming and beautiful' - Gwyneth Paltrow
'The most delicious kind of memoir' - The Times
Stories and recipes from growing up as the daughter of revered chef/restaurateur Alice Waters: food, family, and the need for beauty in all aspects of life.
In this extraordinarily intimate portrait of her mother - and herself - Fanny Singer, daughter of food icon and activist Alice Waters, chronicles a unique world of food, wine, and travel; a world filled with colourful characters, mouth-watering traditions, and sumptuous feasts.
Across dozens of vignettes with accompanying recipes, she shares the story of her own culinary coming of age, and reveals a side of her legendary mother that has never been seen before. A charming, smart translation of Alice Waters' ideals and attitudes about food for a new generation, Always Home is a loving, often funny, unsentimental, and exquisitely written look at a life defined in so many ways by food, as well as the bond between mother and daughter.

'Fanny [is] a seductive wordsmith of deliciousness!' - Sally Clarke, owner of Clarke's Restaurant
'Fanny's confident, honest, warm words beautifully read like a foodie fairy tale' - Skye Gyngell, owner of Spring Restaurant
'A true delight to read, full of pearls of homely wisdom.' - Lily Cole
'A delicious book and deserving of all the praise already heaped on it.' - Bryan Ferry

Commentaires
Written by the daughter of Alice Waters, doyenne of Chez Panisse a Californian restaurant that changed the thinking about food being seasonal and local, with a focus on good ingredients rather than cheffiness. Waters promoted the farm to table way of eating and is an activist for good food in schools. This memoir is a series of vignettes or glimpses of Fanny's life growing up living above the shop ... A hymn to the pleasures of life, with summers spent in the South of France and good friends equally passionate about food.
[A] lovely memoir
A hymn of praise to simple home-cooked food
