«Cooked» is Michael Pollan's essay on cooking, published by Penguin Export in hardcover (468 pages, in English).
Michael Pollan learns in his own kitchen to roast, boil, bake bread and ferment cheese and beer with masters of each trade. The four elements (fire, water, air and earth) transform nature into food, and cooking connects with the world and with others. Reclaiming the kitchen, he argues, improves our diet and autonomy.
The full original title is «Cooked: A Natural History of Transformation». It was nominated for the 2013 Goodreads Choice Award in the Food & Cookbooks category.
For readers of essays on food, cooking and philosophy of everyday life, and for those who follow Michael Pollan's work.
