Former guest of the Institute Michael Pollan discusses his Netflix docu-series with foodwriter Dorien Knockaert: “We intimideren onszelf met onze idealen over eten.” The four-episode show, Cooked, is based on the author’s 2013 book by the same name that explores different methods of cooking and their evolutionary and cultural impacts on humankind, with the ultimate goal of “[issuing] a clarion call for a return to the kitchen in order to reclaim lost traditions and restore balance to our lives.”
