Caroline Eden on Green Mountains

Caroline Eden is our favourite travel guide, taking us across mountains and into kitchens from Ukraine to Turkey and all places in between. We welcome her back to the bookshop this spring for another delicious journey in Green Mountains, the final instalment of Caroline Eden's 'colour trilogy', following on from her multi-award winning books, Black Sea and Red Sands.

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.

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. Caroline lives in Edinburgh.
