She has been awarded both the Art of Eating Prize and an André Simon Award, and <em>Red Sands</em> was a book of the year for the <em>Financial Times</em>, the <em>Sunday Times</em>, and the <em>New Yorker</em>. In this episode, we talk about Caroline’s terrific new book, a memoir titled <a href=\"https://booklarder.com/products/cold-kitchen-a-year-of-culinary-journeys\"><em>Cold Kitchen</em></a>. The book is a real journey through parts of Eastern Europe, the Baltic region, and beyond, and it dives into Caroline’s travels through Russia, Bulgaria, Georgia, and many other locations that perhaps don’t get the time they deserve. Caroline is a brilliant reporter and we had such a great time catching up with her.</p><p>Do you enjoy This Is TASTE?
