In 'Red Sands', Caroline Eden navigates Central Asia from the shores of the Caspian Sea to the Fergana Valley, using food as a passport to enter lives, cities, and landscapes rarely written about.

The book is a rich portrait of the region, delving into universal themes such as hope, hunger, longing, love, and the joys of eating well on the road.

It includes emblematic recipes and explores the complex mix of traditions, environmental issues, migration, and nation-building in the region.
