Chez Panisse Pasta, Pizza & Calzone collects the pastas, pizzas and calzones Alice Waters serves at her Berkeley restaurant, with contributions from Patricia Curtan and Martine Labro. It brings together 87 recipes for pasta sauces and 36 for pizza and calzone, along with pasta doughs flavored with buckwheat, red pepper or saffron. Arranged in seasonal sections and built on fresh ingredients, the recipes reflect the restaurant's Mediterranean affinities. Line drawings appear throughout the book.

• Seth Godin: “After that, I bought a few foundational books: Think Like a Chef, some books from Alice Waters, Daniel Leaders' groundbreaking books on baking. I didn't buy books of recipes. I bought books where someone who understood how to cook had a narrative about how it all fits together.”
