Alice Waters Instagram – I wanted to open LULU because I am hoping that the University of California will really change its procurement to regenerative, organic food. So, I named this restaurant after Lulu Peyraud—a dear friend and mentor. I met Lulu through a mutual friend way back in the mid 70s. I was invited to Domaine Tempier and just immediately fell in love. She had this sense of hospitality, that really made me think about everything differently. She would make a lunch table and have her big meal of the day at lunch. She never knew what she was cooking until she came back from the farmers market. And if somebody just walked in that she didn’t expect, she’d invite them to the table and put down another place setting. She would bring the wood in for the fireplace first thing in the morning to make a fire, and we would tag team. She had two swings in the yard and we would go swinging together, which I loved. And it was that way, right to the end of her life. And so I think about that as I get older, that I want to be doing meaningful work. And I talk about that always. —Alice #storyreels #storytime #alicewaters #lulupeyraud #westwood #90210 #restaurantlife #hammermuseum 📷: @jayevan_photography
