{"product_id":"book-elcy","title":"Lost Supper","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe world can't sustain the way we eat today. 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 style=\"text-align: start\"\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eThe Lost Supper\u003c\/em\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 style=\"text-align: start\"\u003eA deep dive into the archaeology of taste and an impassioned manifesto for the future of food, \u003cem\u003eThe Lost Supper\u003c\/em\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","brand":"Recorded Books, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49351875035440,"sku":"BDelcy","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49503559123248,"sku":"ZEelcy","price":55.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49503559156016,"sku":"ZMelcy","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/elcy-cover.jpg?v=1761166029","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-elcy","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
