Cooked by Michael Pollan

Book review: Cooked by Michael Pollan Well known food writer Pollan provides a classic narrative of how food is prepared. Pollan is well known for his work on nutrition and where our food comes from, so in this book he takes a slight side step and looks at how we prepare food. It has to be handed to Pollan that he does not shy away from being hands on. In this book he describes his experience of ‘apprenticing’ to different styles of cooking, southern barbecue, baking and really getting his hands dirty immersing himself in the world of cooking.
