Aprašymas

Green Mountains, the third and final instalment of Caroline Eden's multi-award-winning travel series, charts a journey through the Caucasus, where Eden uses food as her passport and stories as her currency.

Beginning in Armenia, moving northwards through Georgia and ending at the Black Sea, where it all began, Green Mountains is a tale of enchanting geography, open-hearted people, and an exploration of the cult of the kitchen that prevails within these two countries. Tales of testing hikes and unpredictable terrain are punctuated by the foods she eats for respite - citrus, tea, apricots, mountain greens and magical cheeses - and the stories she uncovers.

Remarkably, Eden covers as much of her journey as she can by foot, embedding herself in the very fabric of her destinations to uncover the vivid smells, sights and tastes of her surroundings. 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 unique insights into the culture and food of these two countries. With meticulously researched histories, a catalogue of recipes, or "edible postcards", from her travels, and rich, compelling stories, this is a travel book like no other.
