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

Loved it
Bought this for my 3 year old son and if it’s perfectly on his toddler, bed would definitely recommend. I love the fluffy and cooling effect. It gives is very soft. It feels amazing. Especially for a toddler very comfy.

Great pillow & Machine Washable
A little on the firm side at first, but it's getting softer with a little use.

Fluff this in the dryer and this is the perfect pillow!
I bought throw pillows from this same brand and was disappointed until I read a tip in the reviews to place them in the dryer on fluff for about 20 minutes. That did the trick and one saved me after a rotator cuff injury. I used it for months to prop my arm up and prevent pain in my shoulder. I loved it so much I decided to see if this brand made a pillow for sleeping and was excited to find they did! This one took two rounds in the dryer on fluff, but I couldn't believe how soft and fluffy it got. I have been getting the best sleep ever since. If you get this pillow, I highly suggest throwing it in the dryer. It makes a huge difference!

Comfortable
This is the fluffiest pillow I have ever bought. I bought it for my 5 year old. He is extremely happy with it and makes him feel like he finally has a big boy pillow that supports him when he sleeps. I might buy one for myself. Defiantly a good purchase.

Fabulous
This is a fabulous pillow. I love it. I recommended wholeheartedly. It is however, large larger than I was expecting. Fortunately, I had a large pillowcase that fits it.
