Cooked by Michael Pollan, review | Michael Pollan:
Fire. Water. Air. Earth. This is food alchemy.
As I slowly make my way through this book I am enticed by the careful thoughtful process Mr. Pollan leads. "Fire" is the section devoted to the long traditions of barbeque, and the author's quest to recapture this magic to enhance everyday lives. Like waiting for a slow roasted barbeque, I savor each page which seem to lead to a certain justice in our relationship with food.
"Not just our money, but our power flows toward them [corporations] whenever we cannot supply any of our everyday needs and desires ourselves,"Pollan explains that cooking can be a vote against specialization. I prefer to see it as a vote toward my own humanity.
My own experiments with Paella on the grill.
