Alice Waters coming to Desmond-Fish

The annual Desmond-Fish Associates Award Dinner always highlights an interesting writer and this year is no different.
Restaurateur and food writer Alice Waters — think Chez Panisse and eight cookbooks — is the featured speaker at this year’s 15th annual June 7 gala. 
I bet this food lover, described as a “food activist”, will have lots to say about Hudson Valley food sources and the value of cooking with local products. In 1996, she marked Chez Panisse’s silver year by establishing a foundation to fund cultural and educational programs that demonstrate “the transformative power of growing, cooking, and sharing food,” she writes on her Web site.
She was pleased as punch that the Obama’s have a garden, so who knows what she will share in Garrison.
The Associates Dinner costs $500Â and includes cocktails, conversation and dinner at nearby Monteverde at Oldstone Manor restaurant. This event is the largest fund-raiser for the Desmond-Fish Library.
