You can buy her book and have it signed by from 9 to 11 a.m. Proceeds from the book-signing will benefit Green City Market. The shopping trip and book-signing will happen rain or shine. No reservations are necessary. For more information about Alice, visit her website at: Chez Panisse. More about the sold out benefit: cooking with Alice is the Palmer House executive chef Stephen Henry. On the menu, a Chicken Nicoise Salad with loads of market fresh vegetables as well as a baked stuffed Peach with Vanilla ice cream for dessert.
