Michael Pollan is the writer of many of my favorite books including The Omnivore's Dilemma, In Defense of Food, and my personal favorite Second Nature. He was a major contributor of Food, Inc. and also appeared in King Corn. If you haven't seen them I would highly recommend that stop whatever it is you're doing and go rent them.
The Green Kitchen features Alice Waters. A well known chef and proponent of the green movement. The site's description is as follows:
The Green Kitchen is an ongoing video experiment in teaching the art of simple cooking. It began at Slow Food Nation 2008, when Alice Waters gathered together a circle of her favorite cooks -- chefs, authors, and home cooks -- and recorded each one teaching a brief hands-on cooking lesson about an uncomplicated, but fundamental, kitchen technique -- things like making a vinaigrette, tying up a roast, or shucking an ear of corn. Because these cooks are so intensely passionate about food, they bring the pleasures of everyday cooking to life. All you'll need is a green kitchen of your own, equipped with little more than a sharp knife, a mortar and pestle, a cutting board, a frying pan, and a compost bucket; and fresh, local ingredients, sustainably grown and harvested -- in other words, food that's good, clean, and fair.
B. Alan Wallace is a Buddhist monk that has written several fantastic books about meditation and consciousness. They are a heady read but worth the effort.
