Alice Waters remembers her early friendship with James Beard
Really brings back so many memories because it was at Marion Cunningham's house, and she said that it was really important that I brought my daughter Fanny over to her house to have breakfast and to meet James. And I just, you know, I didn't, I was sort of uncomfortable about sort of bringing this little tiny child over and interrupting their breakfast, and when I showed her to James, he just melted. He just looked at her and they looked at each other. And this is a beautiful picture of them looking at each other, deeply. And I think some knowledge must have been passed on because she's a wonderful cook, and certainly very curious and that picture expresses it all. I remember he lifted up his sunglasses and put them on his forehead.
