What’s up with Hyatt and Alice Waters?
Hyatt hotels has been busy as a bee working with Alice Waters, of Chez Panisse fame, to produce a three-course organic and seasonal children’s prix fixe meal. It is now on the menu at all full-service Hyatt hotels and resorts throughout the U.S. and the Caribbean. The idea behind this is Alice’s philosophy of not over-complicating food and keeping it recognizable in an attempt to help get kids interested in good-for-them foods. The salad course includes Romaine lettuce hearts, carrot curls, and a radish rose served with a flavorful lemon vinaigrette for dipping. The main course is simple grilled chicken with pesto aioli, roasted potatoes, and a skewer of cherry tomatoes, and dessert is fresh fruit—perhaps orange pieces and strawberries served in a reamed-out orange cup with fragrant lemon verbena. The price for this meal is $16.95. Indeed, Hyatt is dedicated to bringing more organic choices to its entire menu, including meat without supplemental growth hormones or antibiotics, beverages with natural sweeteners such as agave nectar, and cage-free eggs.

Alice Waters’s cook book, “In the Green Kitchen,” is a great gift for you or someone you know who is in need of basic information on how to organize their kitchen and prepare simple meals with good ingredients. I plan to work the Grand Aioli and the Whole-Wheat Spaghetti with Kale into my repertoire. The book itself is a work of art, with an easy-to-use layout and delicious images.
