Whether it's ultra-processed oils, factory-farmed meat, or monoculture wheat, industrial agriculture has increasingly dire consequences for the vibrancy of our plates, health, and planet. While some look to high-tech solutions, like lab-grown meat or transgenic produce, Taras Grescoe argues that the future of our food lies in the diversity of the past.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Lost Supper\u003c\/i\u003e, Grescoe searches for the fascinating flavors, many forgotten or on the verge of extinction, that tell the stories of civilizations: \"Aztec caviar\" from a vanishing lake in Mexico; garum, the secret umami ingredient of Ancient Roman cuisine; acorn-fed feral pigs on one of Georgia's barrier islands; and camas, a staple of Northwest Coast Indigenous Peoples. He chronicles a growing movement of archaeologists, farmers, and food producers who are unearthing and reviving the nourishing, delicious, and sustainable foods of the past--from Neolithic sourdough and farmhouse cheese to wild olives and long-thought extinct plants--along with chefs and enthusiasts who are bringing history alive in their own kitchens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA deep dive into the archaeology of taste and an impassioned manifesto for the future of food, \u003ci\u003eThe Lost Supper\u003c\/i\u003e sets out a provocative case: in order to save ourselves, we need to think--and eat--much more like our ancestors did.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Taras Grescoe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1665083417\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781665083416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Recorded Books, Inc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/19\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e MP3 CD","brand":"Taras Grescoe","offers":[{"title":"MP3 CD","offer_id":48175451603199,"sku":"9781665083416","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_94670cc5-f29e-431e-843b-6f4e9ba655fe.jpg?v=1771333821","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lost-supper-taras-grescoe-9781665083416","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
