"The Omnivore's Dilemma" Author Michael Pollan Talks Food, Writing & More

James Beard Award winner and "New York Times" best-selling author Michael Pollan has become a leading figure in the movement examining how we consume and relate to food. With growing concerns about health and obesity, and how mass production of food is affecting our lives, Pollan's previous books -- "The Omnivore's Dilemma", "In Defense of Food" and beyond -- have taken eye-opening looks at our food culture and ways we can change it for the better. In recent years, Pollan has begun exploring the previously uncharted territory of his own kitchen, apprenticing himself to a succession of culinary masters and learning how to grill with fire, cook with liquid and ferment everything from cheese to kimchi to beer -- crafts he used to pen 2013's "Cooked" and his recent cookbook, "The Pollan Family Table". This engaging 60-minute conversation with Pollan at NYCB Theatre will let you experience what it was like on his journey of discovery as he researched and penned these instant foodie classics. The discussion will be followed by an audience Q&A and book signing.
