Cooked: A Natural History of Transformation by Michael Pollan
5.0
An inspiring insight into cooking and its place in homo sapiens evolving as species, as social and cultural beings. A lot of interesting facts from history, anthropology, biology and chemistry, a lot of interesting philosophical takes on culture and food.
Overall, an enjoyable reading. And did I mention that now I want to learn to roast a full pork, to create my own sour-dough wholegrain bread, and to brew some beer? Those would be quite big investments, but at least I bought a kefir culture while reading.
