Cooked by Michael Pollan

Cooked: A Natural History of TransformationCooked: A Natural History of Transformation by Michael Pollan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The book is divided into four categories that are a bit of a gimmick: fire, water, air, and earth. In reality, the chapters should be: barbecue, cooking styles requiring water, bread, and fermentation, really mostly beer. Highlights include why white bread is the devil and not all wheat bread is really wheat bread. It does inspire me to try to make my own bread or at least bake more.
