Description

With its alluring pantry, shelves of books and inquisitive dog, Caroline Eden finds comfort away from the road in her Edinburgh kitchen. This is a hauntingly honest, and at times heartbreaking, memoir with the smell, taste and preparation of food at its heart. Join her as she cooks dishes from her travels, reflects on past adventures and contemplates the kitchens unique ability to tell human stories. From late night baking as a route back to Ukraine to capturing the beauty of Uzbek porcelain, and from the troublesome nature of food and art in Poland to the magic of cloudberries, at its heart Cold Kitchen signals the importance of curiosity and of feeling at home in the world. ------------- Praise for Samarkand: 'This is a book to delight food lovers, travel hounds and history buffs alike.' - The Telegraph 'So interesting to see so many familiar but also lesser known recipes! Beautiful pictures too! Love the styling! Love it!' - Sabrina Ghayour Praise for Black Sea: 'The next best thing to actually travelling with Caroline Eden a warm, erudite and greedy guide is to read her. This is my kind of book.' - Diana Henry 'Her lyrical, evocative prose has an immediacy that communicates the distinctiveness of each place she visits... Eden beautifully captures the romance of the region' - TLS Praise for Red Sands: 'Caroline Eden is an extraordinarily creative and gifted writer. Red Sands captures the sights, tastes and feel of Central Asia so well that when reading this book I was sometimes convinced I was there in person. A wonderful book from start to finish' - Peter Frankopan
