Over Million Visitors. Pollan takes the reader on a food trek: a limited historical account, his own account of transformation into a better cook plus documentation of how processing has transformed the foods of the world. He said he wanted to further his culinary education to better feed his family and connect with his teenage son. Here, he 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. Now a docu-series streaming on Netflix, starring Pollan as he explores how cooking transforms food and shapes our world.
That is what this book is for.
Pollan has the book broken down into cooking with the four elements (earth, air, fire, and water). Michael Pollan is an award-winning author, activist and journalist. Find Expert Advice on About. Search for Natural Histories. Welcome to our site, dear reader!
