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.
