DESCRIPTION:When Alice Waters opened the doors of her "little French restaurant" in 
 Berkeley, California, in 1971 at the age of twenty-seven, no one ever 
 anticipated the indelible mark it would leave on the culinary landscape 
 -Alice least of all. Fueled in equal parts by naivete and a relentless 
 pursuit of beauty and pure flavor, she turned her passion project into an 
 iconic institution that redefined American cuisine.\n\nAlice Waters is the 
 founder and owner of Chez Panisse Restaurant and Cafe in Berkeley, 
 California. She founded The Edible Schoolyard.\n\nIn Coming To My Senses, 
 Alice retraces the circuitous path that led her to Berkeley and the 
 tumultuous times that emboldened her to find her own voice as a cook, while 
 the prevailing food culture was merely embracing convenience and  
 uniformity. Moving from a repressive suburban upbringing to Berkeley in 
 1964 at the height of the Free Speech Movement and terrific campus unrest, 
 she was drawn into a bohemian world of artists, filmmakers and other 
 charismatic figures whose views on design, politics, film, literature,  
 fashion and food would ultimately become the unique culture on which Chez 
 Panisse was founded.  Dotted with stories, recipes, photographs and 
 letters, Coming To My Senses is a quietly revealing look at one woman's 
 evolution from a rebellious  yet impressionable follower to a respected 
 activist-and how she constructed the iconic institution that redefined 
 American cuisine for generations of chefs and food lovers 
 alike.\n\nPresented by KPFA Radio 94.1 FM.\n\nWith Steve Wasserman, 
 Executive Director of Heyday Books.\n\nHost: Kris Welch is a veteran, very 
 popular KPFA on-air host, a mother, and a grandmother.\n       \nAdmit one:
