Book
Cooked : a natural history of transformation / Michael Pollan.
The author explores the previously uncharted territory of his own kitchen. 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. 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.-- Provided by publisher.
