Cooked: A Natural History of Transformation
by Michael PollanA uniquely enjoyable quest to understand the transformative magic of cooking - from Michael Pollan, bestselling author of In Defence of Food <P><P>In a culture of celebrity chefs and food reality shows, in countries which are crammed with fresh ingredients flown in from every corner of the Earth, we nonetheless year-on-year wade ever deeper into a great swamp of processed foods. <P><P>The more we watch food on television, the less food we actually prepare and cook. Michael Pollan's marvellous new book is a clarion-call for the virtues and values of proper cooking - an essential, defining human activity which sits at the heart of our cultures, shapes family life and is in itself hugely enjoyable. <P>Pollan recreates the transformative fundamentals of how we cook, building from the most basic principles: cooking with fire, cooking with water, cooking with air and cooking with earth. <P>Cooked is an extremely funny and surprising plea to Pollan's readers to take control of their own fates and revel again in what should be a lifetime's engagement with the almost magical activity of making food. <P>And it is, of course, about so much more - how cooking can transform both how we think about ourselves and about our families and friends.
Cooked: From Streets to the Stove, From Cocaine to Foie Gras
by Jeff HendersonBy twenty-one, Jeff Henderson was making up to $35,000 a week cooking and selling crack cocaine. By twenty-four, he had been sentenced to nineteen and a half years in prison on federal drug trafficking charges. It was an all-too-familiar story for a young man raised on the streets of South Central LA. But what happened next wasn't.Once inside prison, Jeff Henderson worked his way up from dishwasher to chief prison cook, and when he was released in 1996, he had found his passion and his dream—he would become a professional chef. Barely five years out of federal prison, he was on his way to becoming an executive chef, as well as being a sought-after public speaker on human potential and a dedicated mentor to at-risk youth. A window into the streets and the fast-paced kitchens of world-renowned restaurants, Cooked is a very human story with a powerful message of commitment, redemption, and change.

Cookery for Dogs
by Paul EastaughIf dogs could cook, what delicacies might they prepare? It certainly wouldn't be anything healthy or spoiled by obsessive hygiene. All dog owners will have a pretty good idea about what their own animals might achieve if left alone in the kitchen for a while. Yet this book is not intended as a horror story but is aimed at those thoughtful, literate dogs who want to improve their lives through a mastery of culinary skills. Yet nothing in this book is recommended for their well-being. If they choose to follow the recipes, then it's up to them and we are just showing them how to get the best from their time in the kitchen. Because literacy is sadly a neglected part of the canine educational curriculum, this book is also intended as the foundation of a dog's own library that may grow into a treasure trove of pleasure and knowledge.

Lily’s not just the perfect partner in culinary crime—she’s also the only person in the world who understands Ana’s need to wash her hands five times before picking up a spatula, and would never make fun of her for it.But Ana and Lily’s plan for edible entrepreneurship turns into one big baking disaster when they’re assigned to different partners for their projects.

Can Ana learn to mush—and overcome her anxiety—in time to save her friendships, finish her project, and compete in the big race?
