Some people know how to live very well. David Tanis certainly does — though it has to be said that he has had the consummate mentor and friend in the improvisational journey of life: Alice Waters. In 2001, when Tanis was in about his 20th year cooking at Waters’s legendary Berkeley restaurant, Chez Panisse, he was vacationing in Paris when a friend told him about a lovely 17th-century apartment for rent in the Fifth Arrondissement. He wasn’t really in the market, but he was already in love with Paris and fell instantly in love with the apartment too. Tanis loved it so much, in fact, that he decided to make his home there. As he explained, “Every time I go traveling, I think, Oh, I think I’ll move here. And sometimes I do.”
