Reviews about this book

  • Ms. Marmite Lover

    Written in an accessible way, this book has good pacing, reading like a food adventure story. Pollan never talks down to the reader and seems excited by what he is discovering.

  • Fuss Free Flavours

    If you want recipes then this is not the book for you. There are four in the back of the book, but really this is a well written and easily readable meander around the meaning of food and cooking.

Publishers Text

Michael Pollan's Cooked takes us back to basics and first principles: cooking with fire, with water, with air and with earth.

Meeting cooks from all over the world, who share their wisdom and stories, Pollan shows how cooking is at the heart of our culture and that when it gets down to it, it also fundamentally shapes our lives.

Filled with fascinating facts and curious, mouthwatering tales from cast of eccentrics, Cooked explores the deepest mysteries of how and why we cook.
