SUMMARY:Gina Rae La Cerva: Author discusses her book\, Feasting Wild\, with David George Haskell
DESCRIPTION:Gina Rae La Cerva discusses her new book\, Feasting Wild: In Search of the Last Untamed Food (Greystone Books) with David George Haskell. \nThis event will be broadcast on our Crowdcast channel. To register\, visit this page. \nAbout Feasting Wild\nTwo centuries ago\, nearly half the North American diet was foraged\, hunted\, or caught in the wild. Today\, so-called “wild foods” are becoming expensive luxuries\, served to the wealthy in top restaurants. Meanwhile\, people who depend on wild foods for survival and sustenance find their lives forever changed as new markets and roads invade the world’s last untamed landscapes. \nIn Feasting Wild\, geographer and anthropologist Gina Rae La Cerva embarks on a global culinary adventure to trace our relationship to wild foods. Throughout her travels\, La Cerva reflects on how colonialism and the extinction crisis have impacted wild spaces\, and reveals what we sacrifice when we domesticate our foods –including biodiversity\, Indigenous and women’s knowledge\, a vital connection to nature\, and delicious flavors. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo\, La Cerva investigates the violent “bush meat” trade\, tracking elicit delicacies from the rainforests of the Congo Basin to the dinner tables of Europe. In a Danish cemetery\, she forages for wild onions with the esteemed staff of Noma. In Sweden–after saying goodbye to a man known only as The Hunter–La Cerva smuggles freshly-caught game meat home to New York in her suitcase\, for a feast of “heartbreak moose.” \nThoughtful\, ambitious\, and wide-ranging\, Feasting Wild challenges us to take a closer look at the way we eat today\, and introduces an exciting new voice in food journalism. \n“A memorable\, genre-defying work that blends anthropology and adventure.”–Elizabeth Kolbert\, New York Times-bestselling author of The Sixth Extinction \nAbout the participants\nGina Rae La Cerva is a geographer\, environmental anthropologist\, and award-winning writer who has traveled extensively to research a variety of environmental and food-related topics. A National Science Foundation Graduate Fellow\, La Cerva holds a Master of Environmental Science from Yale University’s School of Forestry and Environmental Studies and a Master of Philosophy from the University of Cambridge. \nDavid Haskell’s work integrates scientific\, literary\, and contemplative studies of the natural world. He is a professor of biology and environmental studies at the University of the South and a Guggenheim Fellow. His 2012 book The Forest Unseen was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the PEN/E.O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award\, and won the 2013 Best Book Award from the National Academies\, the National Outdoor Book Award\, and the Reed Environmental Writing Award.

The two women hadn’t spoken since Natalie left in anger seven years ago\, when her mother refused to support her chosen career as a chef. Natalie is shocked to discover the vibrant neighborhood of San Francisco’s Chinatown that she remembers from her childhood is fading\, with businesses failing and families moving out. She’s even more surprised to learn she has inherited her grandmother’s restaurant. \nThe neighborhood seer reads the restaurant’s fortune in the leaves: Natalie must cook three recipes from her grandmother’s cookbook to aid her struggling neighbors before the restaurant will succeed. Unfortunately\, Natalie has no desire to help them try to turn things around—she resents the local shopkeepers for leaving her alone to take care of her agoraphobic mother when she was growing up. But with the support of a surprising new friend and a budding romance\, Natalie starts to realize that maybe her neighbors really have been there for her all along \nAbout the Author: \nRoselle Lim was born in the Philippines and immigrated to Canada as a child. She lived in north Scarborough in a diverse\, Asian neighbourhood. \nShe found her love of writing by listening to her lola (paternal grandmother’s) stories about Filipino folktales. Growing up in a household where Chinese superstition mingled with Filipino Catholicism\, she devoured books about mythology\, which shaped the fantasies in her novels. \nAn artist by nature\, she considers writing as “painting with words.”
