The main purpose of this series is to encourage viewers to prepare home‐cooked meals, highlighting the benefits to our health and souls. Overall, Pollan favors breads with minimal ingredients and additives. Through the examination of the current bread making process, industrialized bakeries are shown in a negative light and are seen as the root of the cause for the reason people have become sick from breads. Throughout time, additional ingredients have been added to bread, such as yeast, which have caused health concerns and increased negative perceptions of bread. Pollan highlights changes in society’s perception of bread from something sacred to something we strive to avoid. He also explores the evolution of bread making from Moroccan wheat fields, to food lab, to seed banks. The episode artistically shows the relationship between wheat and humankind, and how both have evolved throughout time (and industrialization). In the third episode, titled “Air,” Pollan explores the science behind bread making and gluten, as well as the history of milling. Each episode focuses on a natural element (fire, water, air or earth), and its relationship with various cultures and foods. The four-part series explores the various methods of cooking and their impact on humans and culture throughout history. On February 19, 2016, Netflix debuted a documentary series titled “Cooked,” which is based on journalist Michael Pollan’s 2013 book, Cooked: A Natural History of Transformation.
