Gripping culinary travels.
*New York Times*
Caroline Eden takes us through the heart of Asia as she eats sweet
winter melons in Uzbekistan, gaudy cream cakes in Kazakhstan and
rich lamb and quince plovs in Kyrgyzstan. Every character she meets
and every meal she shares leads to a deeper understanding of place
and people, every recipe is a postcard from a world few of us know.
Beautifully written, quietly personal, generous, rich with detail,
I absolutely loved this book.
*Diana Henry*
Eden's beautifully observed travelogue includes essays on the
connections she made and thorough examinations of the food she
tried. It is as much a book for the bedside or coffee table as the
kitchen counter. She has rightly won awards for her remarkable
talent for telling stories that take the reader right to the heart
of her experiences.
*The Sunday Times Magazine*
She is a great writer... If you want to lose yourself, I highly
recommend this book.
*Sheila Dillon, BBC Radio 4 The Food Programme, 'Cookbooks of
2020'*
There is nobody writing about food at the moment who's committed to
this level of immersion and it rings out in every line.
*Financial Times*
Eden writes beautifully, not just about food... but about what it
means to live an unchanging way of life in a fast-changing
world.
*The Sunday Times Culture*
A fascinating fusion of travel and food writing.
*The Herald*
If reading about exotic and colourful lands makes you feel better
about not having any proper holidays this year, escape with this
book.
*The Scotsman*
Rich, contemplative, and full of food that will enchant, it reports
back from lands you may not be all that familiar with.
*Press Association*
Caroline Eden's prior work, The Black Sea, was one of the most
awarded cookbooks of 2019, a sweeping travelogue told through the
lens of food. This book moves east, roughly from the Caspian Sea to
the Fergana Valley in Uzbekistan, again telling stories of Eden's
travels and histories of the region, studded with recipes.
