Cooked: Exclusive first look at new Netflix documentary series

Posted February 4 2016 — 9:30 AM EST Alex Gibney just won three Emmy Awards for Scientology doc Going Clear, but the director is going a slightly less controversial route for his latest project: Cooked, a Netflix original documentary series about how the four physical elements — fire, water, air, and earth — meet food. Gibney partnered with The Omnivore’s Dilemma author Michael Pollan for the project, which will consist of four episodes that each spotlight one of the four elements and how they’re used to cook food all over the world. Cooked will travel to places ranging from Australia to see how an Aboriginal tribe fire-roasts monitor lizards to Peru to see how human saliva is used to ferment a traditional drink, and will also feature segments of Pollan himself cooking from his home in Berkeley, California. See the exclusive trailer above, and watch the series when it debuts on Netflix Feb. 19.
