Alice Waters.

If you don’t know her name, then I encourage you to meet her. She is an incredible woman and has been an inspiration to many, myself included, for years. She has been called the mother of the Slow Food movement and was one of the first people to use antibiotic-free and hormone-free meats in her restaurant, along with local, organic produce. Her books, especially the Art of Simple Food, have been on my wish list for a long time! If I ever get the chance to visit Los Angeles, the first restaurant I want to eat at is Chez Panisse!
