Through research into topics such as the dramatic rise and fall of the passenger pigeon, adventures chasing down the luscious butter of local Icelandic cattle, and hosting a series of elaborate “extinction dinners” designed to recreate meals of the past or explore how we might be eating in the future, Lenore Newman examines the history of the foods we have loved to death, and what that means for our culinary future.Īmid growing concerns about the environmental impact of agriculture and the sustainability of the food industry, this timely book makes a critical contribution to our understanding of food security today. With chapters covering everything from lab-made meat to the loss of 464 varieties of lettuce, Lost Feast is a rollicking exploration of the history and future of our favorite foods.
