Description

A NEW YORKER BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR A cozy, thoughtful memoir recalling food and travel in Eastern Europe and Central Asia from a basement Edinburgh kitchen, featuring a delicious recipe at the end of each chapter. "With its union of practicality and magic," Caroline Eden understands a kitchen as a portal, "offering opportunities to cook, imagine and create ways back into other times, other lives and other territories." A welcoming refuge with its tempting pantry, shelves of books, and inquisitive dog, Caroline Eden's basement Edinburgh kitchen offers her comfort away from the road. Join her as she cooks recipes from her travels, reflects on past adventures, and contemplates the kitchen's unique ability to tell human stories. This is a hauntingly honest, and at times heartbreaking, memoir with the smell, taste, and preparation of food at its heart. 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, Cold Kitchen celebrates the importance of curiosity and of feeling at home in the world.

Great writing! One of my favorites recently.
Format: Hardcover
Loved this book. Bought this copy as a gift after borrowing the book to read at my local library. Now I need my own copy as I want to reread it!

Very enjoyable.
Format: Hardcover
Our December book club pick and our last book on a year of reading books about food. This book is a memoir that reads like a travel guide with recipes. It paints beautiful word pictures. Darwin the dog was as big a star of this book as anything else and the cloud berries really peaked my interest! I enjoyed the historical tidbits, putting together a list of foods from the book for our book club, traveling with the author through "a year of culinary travels". ... show more

A book to be savored (pun intended)
Format: Hardcover
Cold Kitchen is a book to be savored (pun intended) as author Caroline Eden combines both narratives and recipes detailing her travels throughout Central Asia and Eastern Europe. I loved the fact that Eden reminisces not only about her travels, but also about the variety of dishes that she savored and how she attempts to duplicate them in her cozy Edinburgh kitchen. The fact that she provides recipes is an added bonus. I don't think you can pigeonhole this book into one specific genre -- to me, it's part memoir, cookbook, and travel journal all wrapped up together. A wonderful gem. Thank you to #NetGalley and #Bloomsbury Publishing for this electronic ARC of #ColdKItchen. ... show more
