Cooked

Based on Michael Pollans book, this four-part series explores the history and science of cooking through the four elements: fire, water, air, and earth. Pollan examines how these methods have shaped human evolution and culture, arguing that cooking is the most important thing we do to define our humanity. It is a thoughtful, intellectual, and deeply researched series that encourages viewers to return to the kitchen and reclaim their connection to food. It is essential viewing for anyone interested in the intersection of biology, history, and culinary practice.
