Product Overview
A New York Times Bestselling Author -- Our most trusted food expert explores the previously uncharted territory of his own kitchen. In Cooked, Michael Pollan discovers the enduring power of the four classical elements-- fire, water, air, and earth-- to transform the stuff of nature into delicious things to eat and drink. Apprenticing himself to a succession of culinary masters, Pollan learns how to grill with fire, cook with liquid, bake bread, and ferment everything from cheese to beer-- and finds that reclaiming cooking as an act of enjoyment and self- reliance opens the door to a more nourishing life.
