I believe that cooking is about using all of your senses. And you want to be able to smell the food and taste it, look at it, touch it, even listen to it. I want you to learn how to think about food and cooking and eating in a different way. Once you know how to discern for yourself, you will be freed from recipes and ingredients lists, and you will know how it feels to cook in this way, full of excitement, discovery, and even joy. This kind of cooking is more accessible than you really think. Because if you start with really good ingredients, you don't have to do much to them. It's believing that you can do this, and I think that I can really help you believe. I've wanted to do this Masterclass in my own kitchen, in my own house, so you could have a sense of how I live. I'm going to introduce you to my daughter, Fanny, who grew up in this kitchen and who is, herself, a wonderful cook. And I'm going to take you to Chez Panisse, to my backyard garden, to the farmer's market, and even the Edible Schoolyard Project. I believe if you begin cooking this way, that it will really change your life. It did mine. I'm Alice Waters, and this is my Masterclass.
