more about the book

This book is by the Pollan family: mother Corky and sisters Dana, Lori, and Tracy. Brother Michael Pollan is well-known for his books and documentaries on food and eating. His mother and sisters have collaborated on a The Pollan Family Table cookbook with the message that a culture of family dinners is transformative: for your physical health, mental well-being, and overall happiness.

We were lucky enough to have the Pollan family as guests on our podcast, and it stands out as one of our favorite episodes to date. Maybe it’s because we had four guests at once (yes, four!). But I think it’s because of the genuine warmth and sincerity with which these women recounted growing up at the table — and their own hopes for the next generation of eaters.

Congratulations to the Pollan family on an incredible book: we can’t wait for the next one! And make sure to take a listen to their podcast episode: A Family Affair.
