A genuinely erudite dive into the cultures that meet at the Black
Sea. Beautiful enough for the coffee table but fascinating enough
for the nightstand and useful in the kitchen, too.
*Tim Hayward, Financial Times*
It’s packed with human stories as well as history, giving the
recipes a significance and resonance.
*Diana Henry, Sunday Telegraph*
It’s her writing – elegant, fluid and as mesmerising as the Black
Sea itself – that captures and holds your attention and imagination
throughout this journey.
*Julia Platt Leonard, The Independent*
Eden’s blazing talent and unabashedly greedy curiosity will have
you strapped in beside her... If Sybille Bedford or Patrick Leigh
Fermor had included a few recipes in their accounts of their
journeys, you’d know exactly where to shelve this gem.
*Christine Muhlke, The New York Times*
The food in Black Sea is wonderful, but it’s Eden’s prose that
really elevates this book to the extraordinary. She captures
people, history, and the ineffable soul of cities with astonishing,
almost novelistic precision — more than once, even in the
headnotes, I felt myself getting lost in the world of the story. I
can’t remember any cookbook that’s drawn me in quite like this.
*Helen Rosner, Art of Eating judge*
