You will never look at what’s on your plate in quite the same way again. Part culinary romp, part environmental wake-up call, Lost Feast makes a critical contribution to our understanding of food security today. Whether it’s chasing down the luscious butter of local Icelandic cattle or looking at the impacts of modern industrialised agriculture on the range of food varieties we can put in our shopping carts, Newman’s bright, intelligent gaze finds insight and humour at every turn.īracketing 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. 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. When we humans love foods, we love them a lot. Lost Feast is a rollicking exploration of the history and future of our favourite foods. Lost Feast can be purchased for the special event price of $35.99 - a saving of 10%. Lenore will be joined in-conversation by Laura Dalrymple of Feather and Bone. You will never look at what’s on your plate in quite the same way again! Part culinary romp, part environmental wake-up call, Lenore Newman's Lost Feast makes a critical contribution to our understanding of food security today.
