Cooked: Based on Michael Pollan’s book, Cooked is a Netflix series that explores the history and science of cooking through the classical elements—fire, water, air, and earth. Each episode shows Pollan learning traditional techniques like barbecuing, braising, baking bread, and fermenting. The series emphasizes how cooking connects humans to nature, culture, and each other. It critiques industrial food production and celebrates the transformative power of hands-on food preparation. With lyrical narration and rich visuals, Cooked makes a compelling case for returning to the kitchen. It’s both educational and philosophical, reminding viewers that cooking is not just a chore but a fundamental human act that nourishes body and soul.
