Coming to My Senses: The Making of a Counterculture Cook by Alice Waters

2.0

I listened to the audio book, which is read by the author. I found the narration hard to understand; Ms. Waters lowers the tone and volume of her voice at the end of nearly every sentence, swallowing the last few words. The book is a collection of anecdotes and memories that generally follow her life sequentially, with a fair amount of jumping around. And lots of name dropping. Shortly after starting the book, I watched the documentary "Jeremiah Tower: The Last Magnificent". Interesting that she mentions Tower, who worked at Chez Panisse for six years, only once. The book ends with the opening of Chez Panisse.
