COOKED: A NATURAL HISTORY OF TRANSFORMATION By Michael Pollan

cooked
I’ve read all of Michael Pollan’s books (I consider his The Omnivore’s Dilemma a masterpiece). Pollan takes a scientific approach to food. In Cooked: A Natural History of Transformation Pollan explores the traditional ways of cooking. He travels to North Carolina to discover the “real” way to barbecue. Trust me: slathering on some BBQ sauce on a slab of pork ribs does not cut it with Pollan. A baker teaches Pollan the secrets of making delicious bread. Pollan explores the science of non-pasteurized cheese. Pollan learns how to home-brew beer. If you’re interested in cooking and improving your nutrition, Cooked is loaded with practical, sensible advice (and recipes!). GRADE: B+
