In Cooked, Michael Pollan explores the previously uncharted territory of his own kitchen. 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. 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. In the course of his journey, he discovers that the cook occupies a special place in the world, standing squarely between nature and culture. Both realms are transformed by cooking, and so, in the process, is the cook.
Each section of Cooked tracks Pollan’s effort to master a single classic recipe using one of the four elements. A North Carolina barbecue pit master tutors him in the primal magic of fire; a Chez Panisse–trained cook schools him in the art of braising; a celebrated baker teaches him how air transforms grain and water into a fragrant loaf of bread; and finally, several mad-genius “fermentos” (a tribe that includes brewers, cheese makers, and all kinds of picklers) reveal how fungi and bacteria can perform the most amazing alchemies of all. The reader learns alongside Pollan, but the lessons move beyond the practical to become an investigation of how cooking involves us in a web of social and ecological relationships: with plants and animals, the soil, farmers, our history and culture, and, of course, the people our cooking nourishes and delights. Cooking, above all, connects us.
The effects of not cooking are similarly far reaching. Relying upon corporations to process our food means we consume huge quantities of fat, sugar, and salt; disrupt an essential link to the natural world; and weaken our relationships with family and friends. In fact, Cooked argues, taking back control of cooking may be the single most important step anyone can take to help make the American food system healthier and more sustainable. Reclaiming cooking as an act of enjoyment and self-reliance, learning to perform the magic of these everyday transformations, opens the door to a more nourishing life.
Michael Pollan is the author of five books: Second Nature, A Place of My Own, The Botany of Desire, which received the Borders Original Voices Award for the best nonfiction work of 2001 and was recognized as a best book of the year by the American Booksellers Association and Amazon, and the national bestellers, The Omnivore's Dilemma, and In Defense of Food.
A longtime contributing writer to The New York Times Magazine, Pollan is also the Knight Professor of Journalism at UC Berkeley. His writing on food and agriculture has won numerous awards, including the Reuters/World Conservation Union Global Award in Environmental Journalism, the James Beard Award, and the Genesis Award from the American Humane Association.

评分烧,烤,煮,发酵。We are what we eat
评分Michael Pollan是我2019年上半年最佳作者了应该w希望本人能出自己朗读的有声书(?)
评分烧,烤,煮,发酵。We are what we eat
评分烹饪是连接自然世界与人类文明的节点,原本每人都要亲力亲为,而现代商品社会的精细分工似乎告诉我们:把做饭这件事交给工厂和专业厨师是最有效率的,也会更好吃。Michael Pollan以他一贯通俗轻快的笔法说明了为什么自己做饭这件事很重要,与纯科普书不同,本书还提供了烤肉、烘焙、煮、发酵等多种recipe。
﹣首先很值得一讚的是譯者的功力。之前讀過作者的英文著作 the botany of desire, 感覺這一本的中文翻譯挺能把作者的那種節湊甚至幽默感傳達出來,十分不錯! ﹣對於作者把烹飪說成為人與自然的連接,也把自己煮飯理解為自主、對自己生活的掌控等的想法,與本人工作機構談的理...

评分一、不可能的任务 人的很多想法是跟随着年龄一起到来的。自从有了小孩,我就断断续续地在琢磨一个念头:是不是应该修撰一份自家的私房菜谱? 我打小就是一个四体不勤五谷不分的“六线城里孩子”。因为我妈相信“万般皆下品,唯有读书高”,她经常提示我“除了读书,一切都是百...
评分读这本书之前正好读了一本《养肠先养肠内菌》这本书,是一本讲肠道菌群与人体关系的健康科普书籍。结合阅读起来,除了书中提到的“汤锅好比人类的第二个胃”这个观点之外,“烹饪”这本书给我更大的启发是:”我们应该更好地学会喂养细菌。现在很多人都会养宠物,其实用心去喂...
