Can You Learn to Cook from Cookbooks?
You learn by doing. Whether you practice with the aid of a cookbook or a hands-on instructor (like Mom), information only moves from theoretical fact to real skill when you put down the book and pick up the sauce pan (or spoon or knife...)
I've learned a lot from watching others cook and from reading cookbooks, but it means nothing unless I get my hand dirty.
Are You a Food Outlier?
I'd say Pollan is mainstream for people who are into the politics of food. But some people are more in tune with book titles than author names. They might recognize "The Omnivore's Dilemma" or "In Defense of Food" but not "Pollan".
And I'll confess -- more than once I thought people were talking about Monty Python. After all, Michael Palin's been on my radar since I was a kid.

Your story and photos make me want to head north.

About: I'm a food writer and editor with a penchant for kitchen gadgets and more cookbooks than sense. Join me as I push my tiny kitchen to the limits and find out why my motto is: Real food. Real life. It ain't always pretty.
Favorite foods: Almost anything fresh and properly prepared -- except liver, beets and hot porridge.
Last bite on earth: The perfect peach.
I love roasted cauliflower. I adore cilantro. This recipe makes me want to lick the monitor.
I'll be making this recipe very, very soon.
