The short life of A.J.A. Symons (1900-41) was described by his biographer as an intricate and largely harmless confidence trick. His many interests included the collection of musical boxes and rare books as well as the study and practice of forgery; they left him time to edit an anthology of Edwardian verse and compose studies of H.M. Stanley and other notable figures. He is remembered for The Quest for Corvo, one of the most remarkable biographies ever written, and for co-founding the Wine and Food Society.

A Spirited Adventure

Mediterranea is a delicious deep-dive into the kitchens of the Med's most qualified cooks: its grandmothers. 
 
A colourful, sensory journey through the coastal region, this book is a celebration of one of the best food cultures of the world, packed with beautiful location photography to boot – think stunning pasta dishes from Sicily, classic desserts from the Côte d'Azur, Croatia's best fish dishes, fresh and vibrant Turkish salads and Greece's best vegetable-rich one pots, all served with the fascinating back stories of the grandmothers who have perfected these age-old recipes, and pearls of wisdom that only come with a life well lived. 
 
As visually engaging as it is mesmerising and heart-warming, Mediterranea is a true portrait of an incredible food culture, and the matriarchs that have shaped it.

Caroline Eden

"There is nobody writing about food at the moment who’s committed to this level of immersion and it rings out in every line." - Tim Hayward, Financial Times 
 
"She has rightly won awards for her remarkable talent for telling stories that take the reader right to the heart of her experiences." - Lisa Markwell, Sunday Times Magazine 
 
“One of the most brilliant travel writers of her generation.” - Fuchsia Dunlop 
 
Green Mountains is the final instalment of Caroline Eden’s ‘colour trilogy’, following on from her multi-award winning books, Black Sea and Red Sands. 
 
Beginning in Armenia, moving northwards through Georgia and ending at the Black Sea, Green Mountains weaves together the enchanting geography and the cult of the kitchen that prevails within these two countries. Tales of testing hikes and unpredictable terrain are punctuated by the foods Eden eats for respite – citrus, herbs, flatbreads, nuts, apricots, mountain greens and magical cheeses – the recipes she shares and the stories she uncovers. 
 
Sharing both the deep comfort and satisfaction of a meal served after a long walk, and the unique relationships she forms with her hosts, Eden offers readers rare insights into the culture and food of these two countries. With meticulously researched histories, a catalogue of more than 30 recipes from her travels, and rich, compelling stories, this is a travel book like no other.

Winner of the Art of Eating Prize 2020 Winner of the Guild of Food Writers&#39; Best Food Book Award 2019 Winner of the Edward Stanford Travel Food and Drink Book Award 2019 Winner of the John Avery Award at the Andr&eacute; Simon Food and Drink Book Awards for 2018 Shortlisted for the James Beard International Cookbook Award &lsquo;The next best thing to actually travelling with Caroline Eden &ndash; a warm, erudite and greedy guide &ndash; is to read her. This is my kind of book.&rsquo; &ndash; Diana Henry &lsquo;Eden&rsquo;s blazing talent and unabashedly greedy curiosity will have you strapped in beside her&rsquo; - Christine Muhlke, The New York Times &#39;The food in Black Sea is wonderful, but it&rsquo;s Eden&rsquo;s prose that really elevates this book to the extraordinary... I can&rsquo;t remember any cookbook that&rsquo;s drawn me in quite like this.&rsquo; &ndash; Helen Rosner, Art of Eating judge This is the tale of a journey between three great cities &ndash; Odesa, Ukraine&rsquo;s celebrated port city, through Istanbul, the fulcrum balancing Europe and Asia and on to tough, stoic, lyrical Trabzon. With a nose for a good recipe and an ear for an extraordinary story, Caroline Eden travels from Odesa to Bessarabia, Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey&rsquo;s Black Sea region, exploring interconnecting culinary cultures. From the Jewish table of Odesa, to meeting the last fisherwoman of Bulgaria and charting the legacies of the White Russian &eacute;migr&eacute;s in Istanbul, Caroline gives readers a unique insight into a part of the world that is both shaded by darkness and illuminated by light. In this updated edition of the book, Caroline reflects on the events of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine and the subsequent impact of the war on the people of the wider region. How Odesa, defiant against shelling and blackouts, has gained UNESCO protection while in Istanbul, over lunch with a Bosphorus ship-spotter, she finds out about the role of the Black Sea in the war and how Russians are smuggling stolen grain from Ukraine. Meticulously researched and documenting unprecedented meetings with remarkable individuals, Black Sea is like no other piece of travel writing. Packed with rich photography and sumptuous food, this biography of a region, its people and its recipes truly breaks new ground.
