Michael Pollan Examines the Deep Connections Found Through Cooking in Netflix Series ‘Cooked’

Cooked is a new Netflix documentary series that features food guru Michael Pollan, who examines the origins of the home-cooked meal and learns how the process of cooking itself forged traditions, expressed feelings and created long-lasting memories. The series premieres on February 19, 2016.

Explored through the lenses of the four natural elements – fire, water, air and earth – COOKED is an enlightening and compelling look at the evolution of what food means to us through the history of food preparation and its universal ability to connect us.
