In fact, we have often eaten them into extinction, whether it is the megafauna of the Paleolithic world or the passenger pigeon of the last century. In \u003ci\u003eLost Feast\u003c\/i\u003e, food expert Lenore Newman sets out to look at the history of the foods we have loved to death and what that means for the culinary paths we choose for the future. Whether it's chasing down the luscious butter of local Icelandic cattle or looking at the impacts of modern industrialized agriculture on the range of food varieties we can put in our shopping carts, Newman's bright, intelligent gaze finds insight and humor at every turn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBracketing the chapters that look at the history of our relationship to specific foods, Lenore enlists her ecologist friend and fellow cook, Dan, in a series of \"extinction dinners\" designed to recreate meals of the past or to illustrate how we might be eating in the future. Part culinary romp, part environmental wake-up call, \u003ci\u003eLost Feast\u003c\/i\u003e makes a critical contribution to our understanding of food security today. You will never look at what's on your plate in quite the same way again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lenore Newman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1770414355\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781770414358\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e ECW Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/08\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.80w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2019 pg. 8\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/26\/2019","brand":"Lenore Newman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44051038175487,"sku":"9781770414358","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c2160ad4-2b13-4fd5-96ea-420c7ff8fe8c.jpg?v=1685010719","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lost-feast-lenore-newman-9781770414358","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
