A cookbook and culinary memoir about growing up as the daughter of revered chef/restaurateur Alice Waters: a story of food, family, and the need for beauty in all aspects of life.
In this extraordinarily intimate portrait of her mother—and herself—Fanny Singer, daughter of food icon and activist Alice Waters, chronicles a unique world of food, wine, and travel; a world filled with colorful characters, mouth-watering traditions, and sumptuous feasts. Across dozens of vignettes with accompanying recipes, she shares the story of her own culinary coming of age and reveals a side of her legendary mother that has never been seen before. A charming, smart translation of Alice Waters's ideals and attitudes about food for a new generation, Always Home is a loving, often funny, unsentimental, and exquisitely written look at a life defined in so many ways by food, as well as the bond between mother and daughter.

      Fanny Singer narrates a loving homage to her mother and to all the people and places that have come to feel like home to her. Opening this memoir is Singer's mother, chef Alice Waters. She gives listeners a brief introduction to her daughter and her fabulous ability to describe food through words. Listeners will be treated to fantastic descriptions of flavors, and smells. One has the feeling of being at the same table as Singer as she is about to enjoy her favorite dishes. Singer performs her memoir like an experienced narrator, with great pacing and a sincere voice that reflects her passions. This is an audiobook to cozy up with and absorb, not only for cooking inspiration, but also for the beautiful narration and descriptions. S.K.G. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine
