How to eat

As diets and health advice becomes ever more complicated, the more we seem to want to simplify our daily relationship with food. Michael Pollan’s Food Rules is a text that emphasises exactly this kind of simplicity.

Pollan’s text has become something of an indispensable handbook with its straightforward rules for eating wisely. And now, a new edition of Food Rules comes with gorgeous illustrations by Maira Kalman, also with a new introduction and 19 additional food rules.

The Kalman-illustrated Food Rules edition was inspired by readers, many of whom submitted their own rules and advice. Kalman’s illustrations work to bring life, colour and wit to Pollan’s food philosophy.
