For March's Cookbook Club we'll be joined by award-winning author Caroline Eden, who will be talking with us about her latest book: Red Sands - reportage and recipes through Central Asia from Hinterland to Heartland.

Red Sands, the follow-up to Caroline Eden's multi-award-winning Black Sea, is a reimagining of traditional travel writing using food as the jumping-off point to explore Central Asia. In a quest to better understand this vast heartland of Asia, Caroline navigates a course from the shores of the Caspian Sea to the sun-ripened orchards of the Fergana Valley. It is a book filled with human stories, forgotten histories and tales of adventure as well as recipes.

There's absolutely no pressure to cook but if you have the time to do something from the book ahead of the event, that would be lovely. Cookbook Club members coming to this event will be sent a couple of recipes from Red Sands so you could make those or anything else from the book.

You will have the opportunity to talk about what you have made, share your thoughts on the book, or ask Caroline a question.
