Russell Moore, co-owner and chef of Camino in Oakland, spent over 20 years honing his craft and building his remarkable network of local farmers and purveyors at Chez Panisse, Alice Waters's exalted temple of local and sustainable eating. Much like Waters, Moore finds inspiration in the writings of Americans like Richard Olney and Waverley Root, who spent decades exploring and documenting the food traditions of France and Italy.

When we interviewed Moore earlier this year he noted both authors, as well as the British chef Fergus Henderson, when asked what books he would recommend to a young professional cook or a serious amateur. Also on his recommended reading list was The Art of Eating Magazine, Edward Behr's quarterly publication dedicated to the exploration of simple, traditional and local foods.
