Michael Pollan's Cooked has been highly anticipated, however it is more of a how-to book than I had hoped. I'd recommend it to someone who enjoys the intros to the Joy of Cooking chapters, ie... about yeast
For readers looking for a treatise on the food industry's misdeeds,
I'd recommend instead Michael Moss' Salt Sugar Fat How the food Giants Hooked Us.
For readers looking for a great memoir with a treatise on cooking great food, I'd go with Blood, Bones, and Butter by Gabrielle Hamilton.
It will become very popular very soon - Gwyneth Paltrow has optioned it.
