The Black Sea is full of mystery and wonder. Bordered by countries like Turkey, Bulgaria, and the Ukraine, the inland sea sits at the nexus of Asia Minor and Europe. Naturally, it’s a region rich with culture, history, and of course food. Caroline Eden traveled 1400 miles around the Black Sea, exploring flavors and ingredients that are the product of centuries of migration and trade winds. The result is her book, “ Black Sea: Dispatches and Recipes – Through Darkness and Light .”
