NOTES : Alice Waters opened Chez Panisse in Berkeley in the early 1970s.

She extended "the cooking of Provence" movement to the US in what is now called the "New American Cuisine." Recipes are meatless main dishes (i.e., high calories, high fat), but are not aimed at vegetarians. (HarperCollins, $32½)
