What is a book like Eating to Extinction by Dan saladino? I read that book and loved it so I want to read something like it. A non fiction book with a lot of research about foods is what I am interested.
Lost Feast by Lenore Newman is exactly what you’re looking for. Lovingly researched chapters about passenger pigeons, mammoths, silphium, and more.

I’m not sure if it’s exactly what you’re looking for, but I loved **Lost Supper: Searching for the Future of Food in the Flavors of the Past**
by Taras Grescoe. He’s looking more at foods that already became extinct, and that maybe we should be thinking about bringing back, and in the book he takes you with him as he travels to different places around the world, investigates the history of the food, and talks to the farmers, researchers and advocates who are trying to bring them back. He’s a wonderful person to travel with, he’s one of those writers who really conveys how exciting he finds all of it, and I found the history really interesting – it was one of those books where I did further reading on a lot of it.
