One of the most highly anticipated books of 2013 is Michael Pollan's latest Cooked : a natural history of transformation. Here he once again uses his journalism background to discuss the history, culture and science of food. Informative and entertaining he advocates for Americans to take back control of their kitchens and the food they eat. This book will appeal to foodies and memoir lovers alike as each section he personally investigates the major elements of cooking. Readers of his previous books will finally learn what they can do to change our food systems.
I love recommending foodie memoirs to customers browsing the latest cookbooks. Some read alikes for Cooked include: Catching fire : how cooking made us human that explains how cooking civilized humans (good for history/sociology buffs), On food and cooking : the science and lore of the kitchen offers tips on preparation and considers the scientific aspects of the food we eat
