About this listen

Stories and recipes from growing up as the daughter of revered chef/restaurateur Alice Waters: 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 colourful 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' 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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I didn’t enjoy this book. I kept with it only because I was interested in the recipes, unfortunately it was impossible to follow them on audio.
The writing is a tad pretentious and the reader’s voice annoying and monotonous with the dreaded ‘ throat fry’ that seems to be popular these days with young women....god knows why...it’s just downright irritating! I doubt if I will listen to the bitter end.

Sadly not for me
