40 Years of Chez Panisse: THE ENERGY of Gathering, is an audiobook cooperation between famous food pioneer Alice Waters and NPR's Kitchen Sisters. Alice narrates the saga of her trailblazing restaurant and the meals motion it helped spawn, along with the voices of some 50 of her collaborators and friends. Peabody Award-winning radio suppliers The Kitchen Sisters bring their signature, richly layered sound style to Alice's powerful tale of the life span and founding of Chez Panisse. Advised decade by decade, this compelling story of food and political transformation opens in the tumultuous 1960s and trips across 40 years, tracing how a small community restaurant in Berkeley, California, helped ignite a motion for edible education and local, organic, and delightful food. Along with Alice we hear from dozens of men and women who've helped create the meals motion, including Wendell Berry, Calvin Trillin, Michael Pollan, Eric Schlosser, Ruth Reichl, Marion Cunningham, Edna Lewis, Maira Kalman, Anna Deavere Smith, Hillary Clinton, Slow Food President Carlo Petrini, theatre impresario Peter Sellars, farmer Bob Cannard, and so many more - including chefs, farmers, gardeners, restaurateurs, painters, musicians, and freelance writers. These voices are blended with readings, interviews, music, sound, archival sound and field recordings captured by The Kitchen Sisters over ages of chronicling Alice's trips and initiatives. Lively, inspiring and soulful, this audiobook has ended six hours of tale spanning 40 years in the life span of the pioneering and visionary restaurant and the girl who imagined it up.
