Cooked
In “Cooked,” Michael Pollan takes us on a culinary journey through the elements. With his trademark wit and curiosity, he explores the transformative power of fire, water, air, and earth in our kitchens. From barbecuing with fire to fermenting with microbes, Pollan’s personal experiments and insights reveal the primal connections between cooking and culture. It’s a mouthwatering meditation on how the act of cooking shapes our world and ourselves. I found myself inspired to get back in the kitchen and rediscover the magic of turning raw ingredients into something delicious.
