What are soft boy cooks? On social media, these sensitive men with palpable charisma are a little heartthrob, a little boy-next-door and entirely devoted to food. They eschew the heavy meats and protein-maxxing that many of their fellow chefs promote. nyti.ms/45Zo6n2

I'm reading a book that I'm absolutely loving, my customers can expect to hear me enthuse about it At Length for the rest of the summer and beyond and wondering how anyone can really think that AI could replace the sense of connection the best books give us

Book talks and events are sometimes a lot in terms of travel, time and energy but every single one is worth it. It is an honour to have the chance to meet readers in person and to be hosted by bookshops and festivals.
And with feedback like this, well... 💚
Thank you.

I was there! It was my 1st chance to meet Caroline face to face ever! Every word she writes is somehow magical & resonates within me. It's diffuclt to explain but I adore her writing, her themes, emotions and ideas. Evocative, full of life writing, about delightful people and under-celebrated food!

Inspired by the delightful book “Cold Kitchen” by Caroline Eden @edentravels.bsky.social, we’ve planted Kazakh melons in one of the veranda beds here at #BrookwoodPoint. Despite a nasty spring these are finally sprouting (guarded vs beetles by nasturtium)😃🤞🤞🤞
