Endangered Eating

”[Endangered Eating] is as much a fascinating study of heirloom cider apples and Buckeye chickens as it is a commentary on the way politics, money and convenience have conspired against America’s culinary history… the deep cultural and political history Lohman unearths is worth the ride.” – Kim Severson - The New York Times Book Review“Intrepid.” – The Washington Post“Through eight first-person essays, Lohman tracks down the farms, restaurants, growers, and fisherman that are part of the life cycle of ingredients like heirloom cider apples from the Hudson Valley, dates from California’s Coachella Valley, and even Navajo Churro sheep in the southwestern United States. In doing so, she illuminates how the delicate balance of agriculture, demand and production impact what is available and how we can protect heritage ingredients from being lost forever.” – Korsha Wilson - Food & Wine
