Fueled in equal parts by naivet? and a relentless pursuit of beauty and pure flavor, Alice transformed our relationship with food and has been at the leading edge of the American culinary revolution ever since. In Coming to My Senses, Alice paints a portrait of her path to the epicenter of Northern California's burgeoning counterculture in the late 1960s. There, drawn into the throes of tumultuous political and personal events, she refined her personal aesthetic and her pursuit of the exquisite, the exceptional, the right taste. For the first time in her own words, Alice shows the quiet determination and reckless enthusiasm that inspired her activism. advocacy, and creativity. At once deeply personal and modestly understated, this coming-of-age story offers a never-before seen look at the makings of a rebel who quietly redefined the way generations of chefs and food lovers think about food.
