The New York Times bestselling and critically acclaimed memoir from cultural icon and culinary standard bearer Alice Waters recalls the circuitous road and tumultuous times leading to the opening of what is arguably America's most influential restaurant. When Alice Waters opened the doors of her "little French restaurant" in Berkeley, California in 1971 at the age of 27, no one ever anticipated the indelible mark it would leave on the culinary landscape--Alice least of all. Fueled in equal parts by naivet and a relentless pursuit of beauty and pure flavor, she turned her passion project into an iconic institution that redefined American cuisine for generations of chefs and food lovers. In Coming to My Senses Alice retraces the events that led her to 1517 Shattuck Avenue and the tumultuous times that emboldened her to find her own voice as a cook when the prevailing food culture was embracing convenience and uniformity. Moving from a repressive suburban upbringing to Berkeley in 1964 at the height of the Free Speech Movement and campus unrest, she was drawn into a bohemian circle of charismatic figures whose views on design, politics, film, and food would ultimately inform the unique culture on which Chez Panisse was founded. Dotted with stories, recipes, photographs, and letters, Coming to My Senses is at once deeply personal and modestly understated, a quietly revealing look at one woman's evolution from a rebellious yet impressionable follower to a respected activist who effects social and political change on a global level through the common bond of food.Binding Type: Paperback

The best electric opener by far!
Color: Stainless Steel, Size: 4-in-1
This is the 3rd or 4th opener I've purchased in the last two years. This is by far the best! Top reasons this is the best:
#1: it has opened every single bottle I've tried - even ones the other struggled with
#2: press the button and let go; you don't have to hold the stupid button in (great for folks with bad thumbs)
#3: I like the light
#4: Battery level indicator and battery life
ALL THIS translates to great value, ease of use, great cork removal
The only thing I didn't like is that there is no stand per se (it rests on the foil cutter). Easily solved with several stands from the other inferior openers

Highly recommended for wine lovers☝️
Color: Stainless Steel, Size: 4-in-1, Color: Stainless Steel, Size: 4-in-1
I recently purchased an electric wine opener, and it has completely transformed my wine-drinking experience. This sleek gadget effortlessly uncorks bottles with just the push of a button, making it perfect for gatherings or a cozy night in.
The design is user-friendly, and the built-in LED light helps guide the process. I particularly appreciate how it works on various cork types without damaging them. The battery life is impressive; I can open several bottles on a single charge.
Cleanup is a breeze, as the device is easy to store and doesn’t require any additional tools. Overall, I highly recommend an electric wine opener for anyone looking to enhance their wine experience with minimal effort. It’s a game-changer!
