About this audiobook
In the age of pre-packaged food, author Michael Pollan says the most important thing about your diet is the act of actually cooking it. Jeffrey Brown talks to Pollan about his new book, Cooked, which triumphs the gratification of home cooking and the importance of preserving it as a part of daily life.
