“Don’t eat anything your great-grandmother wouldn’t recognize as food,” Michael Pollan famously wrote, but what about more immediate family? We’re going to find out, it seems, in the Pollan Family Table, which is being written by the food-policy advocate’s mother and three sisters. According to Publishers Marketplace (subscription), the forthcoming cookbook will be chockablock with “Pollan family stories, recipes, cooking techniques, and pantry wisdom for healthy, harmonious meals for every family.” While the sagacious, best-selling author — who once told Grub Street all about noshing at Barney Greengrass and ricotta on twelve-grain toast at his mother’s apartment — won’t be dispensing tips for using sage here himself, he is writing the foreword. Look for the Scribner book in the fall of 2014. [Publishers Marketplace, Earlier]
