Katherine Weber asked Michael Pollan:

How to get more Americans cooking real food at home?

Michael Pollan This is what I tried to do in COOKED, my most recent book. I argued the value of cooking to both our health and the health of the environment, but I hope I also inspired readers by demonstrating how interesting, pleasurable, economical and uplifting it can be to cook for people you love, especially when you draw other people into the kitchen with you. We have been brainwashed to think cooking is complicated and boring (which sounds suspiciously like a contradiction) when in fact it is one of the great satisfactions of life.
