Publishers Text
The follow-up to the award-winning Black Sea, Caroline Eden's Red Sands is a journey through the places, peoples and food of the 'Stan' countries: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan. These areas of Central Asia are little known ("the last sizable 'blank on the map'") but hugely significant in terms of world history, conflict and culture. Caroline explores this little-explored region through a series of essays and recipes, with descriptions and photographs that transport the reader to another world through the lens of food.With unprecedented access to communities and locations as yet undiscovered by westerners, Caroline uncovers unique stories about forgotten people and places.
