'The next best thing to actually travelling with Caroline Eden - a warm, erudite and greedy guide - is to read her. This is my kind of book.' - Diana Henry

'Eden's blazing talent and unabashedly greedy curiosity will have you strapped in beside her' - 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... I can't remember any cookbook that's drawn me in quite like this.' - Helen Rosner, Art of Eating judge
