A Bookshop Supper Club for Caroline Eden's Green Mountains

"One of the most brilliant travel writers of her generation." - Fuchsia Dunlop

Caroline Eden is an author, journalist and book critic regularly contributing to The Guardian, Financial Times and The Times Literary Supplement. Her book Black Sea won the Guild of Food Writers Best Food Book Award 2019, the Edward Stanford Travel Food and Drink Book Award 2019, and the Art of Eating Prize 2020, as well as being shortlisted for the James Beard Award International Cookbook Award. Red Sands was winner of the Andre Simon Food Book Award 2020.

To celebrate the third and final instalment in Eden's 'colour trilogy', Green Mountains, we felt we should do something a little different... And so invite you to join us for a rather special Bookshop Supper - the first we've ever put on in Edinburgh!

We’re looking forward to welcoming you to a supper of rare and delicious tastes with this most charming storyteller and inspired explorer. She has a nose for a great recipe and an ear for an extraordinary story.

Each place is £60 and includes:

• A signed first edition of Green Mountains,
• A £32 voucher to spend either on the previous books in Eden's Colour trilogy or on other books in the bookshop
• A three-course supper with wine, an apéritif & canapés

Our menu for the evening will look a little like this:

About Green Mountains...

In a series of invigorating walks, from the stormy sunbaked valleys of southern Armenia to the jagged peaks of northern Georgia, epic landscapes and fascinating cities come alive via encounters with priests, fruit pickers, tea harvesters, legendary singers, chess masters and heroic alpinists.

The journeying finally ends where this trio of books began, on the Black Sea, and with two conclusions: that no feast can beat a post-walk meal and that the green mountains of the Caucasus are capable of transforming just about anyone into a pilgrim.
