This is the book that the Netflix streaming show "Cooked" was based on. A review from The Economist, May 2, 2013: (Mr Pollan recognizes that) Real cooking (not just heating up) allows people to create, to put their own values into food, to escape the industrialized eating that has created health crises all over the world. Cooking is part of being human. The alternative is to evolve into passive consumers of standardized commodities that promise more than they deliver. Best of all, argues Mr Pollan, cooking makes people happy. ; 8vo .
