Last night, I had the privilege of briefly meeting author Michael Pollan, one of the real food movement’s most articulate voices and one of my food heroes…or as he was introduced tonight, “the father of the modern food movement.”
Pollan just released his latest book, Cooked: A Natural History of Transformation, and is on book tour. I heard him speak at Beth El Synagogue in Minneapolis, along with over 1,500 other real food and health enthusiasts, including doctors, nurses, holistic health professionals and interested, hungry citizens.
Here are some highlights from his talk…that definitely inspired me, and perhaps will inspire you, too, to enjoy spending a bit more time in your own kitchen.
