Listen  this is no cheap Jedi mind trick!  -- CORBY KUMMER (of the Atlantic)  lauds  Chez Panisse  ... "I have eaten some of the most memorable meals of my life at Chez Panisse"  -- "a restaurant that began as a kind of countercultural collective and has had enormous national influence.".
 With that kind of reputation ... after eating there, the only thing left to do (or is it 'right to do';  well California voted for both Brown and Reagan), is to get the recipes that last a lifetime ... so here they are:

Chez Panisse Cafe CookbookAlice L. Waters --  In the 1970s, Alice Waters helped launch the revolution in American cuisine. She inspired a generation of food lovers with her passion for freshness and the best ingredients. Her influence helped infuse menus all over the U.S. with dishes rooted in Mediterranean cooking, often with a sunny, California twist. Dishes at the casual café, located upstairs in the same enchanting house as Chez Panisse, her more formal restaurant in Berkeley, California, include Wood Oven Baked Porcini Mushrooms, Tuna Confit, and Meyer Lemon Éclairs. Waters suggests making the mushrooms in your fireplace if you can, although recipe directions are for a conventional oven. Typical of the ingredient-driven cooking Waters encourages, the stunning tang of the éclairs requires Meyer lemons: a cross between a lemon and an orange, which are now exported beyond their native California. But the fresh tuna steak gently simmered in olive oil with garlic, fresh thyme, and fennel seeds and served with barely cooked green beans and aïoli, a pungent garlic mayonnaise, is sublime even made in an apartment kitchen. Her point is that you should use her recipes as guides, letting them inspire you to make the most of locally produced, seasonal foods in your area.  (this is it  - the book in the eye of the buzz)
