Sit Down with Alice Waters

Catch her as she makes a short stop at Omnivore Books to discuss her latest, The Edible Schoolyard. The event benefits the Chez Panisse Foundation. Don't forget to bring a copy of your book for signing.

With SF's restaurants being forced to up their prices, diners are being asked to put their money where their ideals are. In pursuit of the real bottom line, Quince chef Michael Tusk takes us on a journey from farmers market to final bill.

Driving across the Bay Bridge one bright Friday morning with Michael Tusk, chef-owner of Quince restaurant, I find myself looking at the dashboard of his beat-up car, ablaze with warning lights, and thinking how unfortunate it would be if we were to break down right here, right now. For one thing, it’s starting to rain.

Ask any one of the growing number of DIY boozehounds: The freedom to make your own spirit can be intoxicating.Deep in otherwise-unremarkable closets, cabinets and pantries all around the city, jugs of homemade booze—from Kahlúa-style coffee liqueur to cherry brandy to triple sec—are hidden in the cool darkness, waiting to be cracked. No, they don’t represent the return of neo-Prohibition bathtub gin and moonshine, but rather a continuation of the ever-growing DIY/Slow Food movement.
