Based on the shape of a favorite vintage piece in Alice Waters's kitchen, this hand-finished salad bowl is made from some of the most precious wood available: sustainable, salvaged redwood. Waters chose redwood as a material because it is exceptionally lightweight, but also very durable, and resistant to the rancid oily flavor that can develop in wood bowls after frequent use. It also reminds Alice of the beloved, ancient redwood tree that grows in her back yard in Berkeley, California.

As with all of the pieces in Alice’s Kitchen Collection, 5% of proceeds go toward supporting her non-profit organization, The Edible Schoolyard Project, whose mission is to build and share a national edible education curriculum for pre-kindergarten through high school.

Please note that the grain and coloring will vary from bowl to bowl as each is unique. Avoid using harsh detergents to clean the bowl as it risks dehydrating the wood—simply rinse and wipe out. You may also regularly condition the bowl with food-safe wood conditioner. A freshly-cut light redwood at first will darken over time, and patina with use, turning a lovely rich warm color.

The bowl is made by Joinery Structures.
