\"Cooked Cooked <\/em>
\nMichael Pollan<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pollan explores the basics of cooking at its most \u2018elemental. He learns how to make traditional barbecue (fire), make stocks and braise meat (water), bake bread (air), and ferment beer and sauerkraut (earth). His descriptions about the processes make you want to join in, which is facilitated by the inclusion of recipes in the back of the book. Building on his previous claims to \u201cshop the perimeter of the grocery store\u201d and \u201cEat food. Not too much. Mostly plants”, Pollan strips cooking down to the basics. It is a great read and keeps you entertained. The author\u2019s regression to the basics is inspired by our culture\u2019s most recent aversion to cooking from scratch. It is Pollan\u2019s goal to encourage people to enjoy cooking and sharing a meal, thereby improving our daily lives.<\/p>\n
