description: In Lost Feast 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. Bracketing 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.
