Cooked

Cooked is a personal odyssey that leads bestselling author Michael Pollan from his own kitchen to an underground mushroom farm in Tennessee. While writing Cooked, he starts with the most basic of recipes, a plain loaf of bread, and explores the way God created the world. He learns what air, fire, water, and earth have to do with making something as simple as bread. As he works through the recipes, he steps into each recipe’s history and culture to see how it started and where it’s going. By the end, you’ll know how to make perfect bread.
