In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with romance author and financial dominatrix, Sara Sitwell, to explore the world behind the fantasy of financial domination. Sara shares how her journey into writing steamy romance novels naturally evolved into building a bold online presence — and eventually stepping into the fin dom space. We dive into what being a financial dominatrix truly involves, why personal safety and boundaries on social media are non-negotiable, and how misconceptions online can lead to dangerous misunderstandings. Sara peels back the layers of glamorized social media portrayals and offers honest advice for anyone curious about the world of fin dom. Whether you're fascinated by the psychology of power dynamics, curious about new ways women are owning their confidence online, or simply love a good story of personal evolution, this conversation is not to be missed!Follow Sara on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/thiccthiccsara/

Minute Sixty-Six: From Loki Leaving to Erik Lying Joining us to discuss Loki's departure from Midgard and Erik's struggle to convincingly lie to Agent Coulson to free Thor is Bryon Lockhart, host of the Marine Corps Movie Minute and Co-Host of the Marvel Events Timeline Podcasts. In the sixty-sixth minute of Kenneth Branagh's 2011 film Thor... Loki looks up at the sky. Is he imagining he's looking at Odin or Heimdall? And how interesting that this is a moment Branagh doesn't cut to a god's eye view shot for this moment. It's interesting that they opt to just have Loki walk out of the shot instead of showing him depart in some magical way. We debate if it works or if we'd rather see him using one of his back doors. Did Loki really hope he could pick up the hammer? Or was it just for fun on the off chance he could have lifted it? Agent Coulson watches Erik lying through his teeth to free Thor, but does he believe it? Before that, Agent Sitwell moves into the room to talk to Coulson, and he goes from dark to light. Is there a chance they were already thinking about him being a HYDRA agent at this point? It sure feels that way. The SHIELD Crater Base is currently under repair, and was that the 1st Assistant Director we hear call “Set”? Sitwell lets Coulson know he has a visitor, and it's Erik. Why is it Erik who comes? Why not Jane? Or both of them? Perhaps Erik worries that Jane is too hot-headed. Did Jane have Donald Blake's driver's license lying around with his clothes when they broke up? Or did Darcy whip up this whole license? How funny that the New York driver's license actually has Excelsior on it. Is that why they went with it? Coulson clearly doesn't actually believe Erik lying, but seems to know he can use the situation to get more information out by following them. Erik lying about steroids is hilarious, but his comedic bit about ‘Donald' being upset about SHIELD's jackbooted thugs is great and really shows his feelings about SHIELD. Matthew takes a deep dive on the address on Donald's address. It's a kooky rabbit hole he went down. The photo of Thor on the driver's license? It's the photo Darcy took of him in Isabela's Diner. It's a comedic minute watching Erik try to spin lies to Agent Coulson so that they'll release Thor, and Bryon Lockheart's here for it all. Tune in!

Minute Fifty-Five: From Thor's Punchline to Thor's Punch Joining us today to discuss Thor's joke about flying out, Agent Sitwell's first appearance in the MCU, and Thor's break-in into the SHIELD Crater base is Scott Carelli, founder of Dueling Genre Podcast Network and host of Franchisography. In the fifty-fifth minute of Kenneth Branagh's 2011 film Thor... Thor has a great line delivery on his punchline, and the fact that he just walks away is perfect. If we stayed on him as he walked away, he totally would be smirking about having said the cool line. We jump to a Mjølnir-eye view to see that it's starting to rain. Is this because Thor is getting close to Mjølnir? There didn't seem to be a lot of interference when the townies were here so it feels like it must be the two of them. This storm came in very quickly. It wasn't that long ago that Thor and Jane were driving under clear skies. It's time to introduce Agent Jasper Sitwell into the MCU! Is it telling that every shot of him is a dutch angle? Or is that hard to read since so many shots in the film are dutch angles anyway? Sitwell was first introduced in Strange Tales with a Nick Fury storyline. He's served with Tony Stark. But was he nice? He sure seems serious here. Were they already planning his HYDRA role? We look at Maximiliano Hernández with the IMDb game. It's harder than we thought it would be! We also do the IMDb game for the Techie and some of the Agents. We're glad the Techie's extra lines were cut out. These characters really shouldn't be fun or funny. We dig into Southwest Flight 5434 as Agent Sitwell diverts it. But it doesn't go anywhere. We call it the Easter egg that wasn't. What's interesting though is that the screen shows the Event Zone, but it's near northern New Mexico. So that breaks our thinking about where Puente Antiguo is. Now, we're thinking it's closer to Las Vegas, NM. Thor breaks in. SHIELD seems so low-tech. It's strange and feels more Agents of SHIELD. Thor does go in stealth-mode here as he dons an Agent's rain slicker. Tension builds as Thor works his way toward Mjølnir. But why are there barrels of toxic chemicals here? Thor reveals his intentions to fly out, Agent Sitwell diverts a Southwest flight, and Thor knocks two SHIELD agents out. It's a busy episode. Tune in!

Episode Description:  In today's episode, the Duchess journeys to Renishaw Hall & Gardens to meet Alexandra Sitwell. In the show, the ladies discuss why Renishaw became known as ‘the ancestral home of the English eccentric', Alexandra introduces us to the iconic literary trio that lived at Renishaw, and we are taken on a tour of the unforgettable gardens that surround the home today.  Top Quotes: "These houses have a soul." - Alexandra "The borders of the gardens have the most beautiful flowers. The vistas remind you that you could be in Italy. That's why the gardens of stately homes have been so important to people during this time. Here we are in the middle of Derbyshire, 7 miles from Sheffield, with these fabulous gardens that can take you to another world." - Duchess It's a love affair with these houses. They scoop you up and, in a way, you can never put them down." - Duchess "My father used to refer to Renishaw as 'My Mistress of old: Unpredictable, unreliable, expensive but beautiful." - Alexandra About the Guest and Stately Home: Alexandra Sitwell was brought up at Renishaw Hall from the age of seven, and inherited the estate in 2009. She is married to her husband Richard Hayward. The couple have two adult children together. Alexandra loves the gardens and she credits her mother for continuing to expand and enriching them.  Grade I listed Renishaw sits on 5,000 acres of land, with 10 acres of gardens. The house was built in 1625 by George Sitwell, with further wings, rooms and gardens added later. George Sitwell began his financial empire by mining iron ore. The Sitwell family has owned the house for almost 400 years, generating wealth in the 16th and 17th centuries from iron-making and landowning. Renishaw was famously home to the literary Sitwell trio, siblings who established themselves as rivals to the Bloomsbury Set in the Twenties and Thirties. Sir Osbert was a writer. Sir Sacheverell an art and music critic, and Dame Edith was a poet. Ornamental ponds, a spectacular fountain, secret garden rooms, classical statues, overflowing borders and long vistas all feature strongly in Renishaw's totally unique gardens. Renishaw also has an award winning vineyard on its grounds and won VisitEngland's Hidden Gem award.   About the Host: Emma Rutland, The Duchess of Rutland, did not always stride the halls of stately homes. Born Emma Watkins, the Duchess grew up the daughter of a Quaker farmer, in the Welsh marsh countryside. She trained as an opera singer in the Guildhall School of Music, and worked as a successful interior designer before meeting her future husband David Manners, the 11th Duke of Rutland, at a dinner party. Their marriage in 1992 would transform Emma Watkins into the 11th Duchess of Rutland, thrusting her into the world of aristocracy, and handing her the responsibility of one of the nation's great treasures: Belvoir Castle. While simultaneously running the day to day operations of the castle, and raising five children, The Duchess became fascinated with the history and importance of the other stately homes of the UK. Join The Duchess as she embarks on a wonderful journey through time, to learn more about the incredible homes that have defined Great Britain and, most importantly, meet the other extraordinary women who work tirelessly behind their doors to preserve their history and magic for future generations.  Resources: To find out more about our Sponsor CircleDNA, visit their website https://circledna.com/en-us/ (here) https://www.onefineplay.com/ (https://www.onefineplay.com/) https://www.belvoircastle.com/ (https://www.belvoircastle.com/) https://www.emmaduchessrutland.com/ (https://www.emmaduchessrutland.com/) https://www.renishaw-hall.co.uk/ (https://www.renishaw-hall.co.uk/)

Less than a year after his conversion, C.S. Lewis wrote The Pilgrim's Regress in only two weeks while visiting his friend Arthur Greeves in Ireland. Lewis's thick landscape of literary allusions, quotes, and philosophical criticism has long thwarted interested readers. In this week's episode, Drs. Crystal and David C. Downing sit down with Producer Aaron Hill to pull back the curtain on Lewis's allegorical apology of Christianity, reason, and romanticism.

Red Sands: Reportage and Recipes Through Central Asia, from Hinterland to HeartlandBy Caroline Eden Intro: Welcome to the number one cookbook podcast, Cookery by the Book with Suzy Chase. She's just a home cook in New York City sitting at her dining room table, talking to cookbook authors.Caroline Eden: Hi, my name is Caroline Eden. I'm the author of Black Sea and Red Sands, which is my new book, Red Sands: Reportage and Recipes Through Central Asia from Hinterland to Heartland.Suzy Chase: Last we chatted was in August, 2019 and you were on to celebrate my 150th episode with Black Sea. Welcome back and happy, happy new year. It has to be a happy new year!Caroline Eden: Thanks very much for having me back on Suzy and really nice to be here.Suzy Chase: So how does the landscape shape the food in Central Asia?Caroline Eden: That's a good question. Central Asia is a vast sways of the middle of Asia, the Heartland of Asia and I concentrate on four of the five countries of Central Asia in this book. Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. Put most simply there are two groups traditionally, historically within Central Asia, the nomads and the settled people of towns and cities, which have scattered along The Silk Road, the nomads were very dependent on what they had to hand out on The Steppe that was meat, horse meat, generally, and, sheep, mutton and the milk that their animals produced. So meat and milk, very, very basic diet and the people in the settled places more in Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and parts of Turkmenistan, which I don't feature in the book, had access to far greater produce, produce that was coming in from East to West West to East and access to orchards big irrigation systems leading in from the rivers. Very good nut and fruit forests and access to meat and some fish as well in the river so that's really how it's split. It's between the settled people in the towns and villages and the people who are out with livestock out in The Steppe.Suzy Chase: So that's what I was going to ask you, why isn't Turkmenistan in this book.Caroline Eden: I really struggled with whether to include Turkmenistan or not because it's a fascinating country on the Caspian Sea, a lot of great, interesting historical stories, which I could have pulled out from the country however, it's run by a dictator at the moment and reporting there freely is really problematic. So you can go and I could have gone, but outside of the city, the capital city Ashgabat, I would have been given a guide and would have been quite restricted to how I could travel and talk to people and that's not really how I like to travel when I'm researching these books I like to go slowly and speak to people freely and respectfully and sort of take my time and I felt if I went, it would be slightly controlled so I chose not to go at this time.Suzy Chase: So Red Sands consists of two parts, two main parts, spring and autumn. You start in the springtime shores of the Caspian Sea out West and the largest country in the region, oil rich Kazakhstan and you open the book and Aktau West Kazakhstan walking on the promenade of the Caspian Sea. You called it a city of edited geography and simulated environments. I'm curious to hear about that.Caroline Eden: Great. I'm glad you, I'm glad you brought this up because I was really fascinated with Aktau. It's a curious place. So the Ukrainians and the Russians built it basically in the 1950s, there wasn't anything there before. And the way that it's laid out today is there are not addresses as we would know them I mean quite different in New York to say London but we don't have blocks as you know, we have streets and the addresses are different, but that they just have numbers say the addresses read like telephone numbers so you'll have a block and then a flat number and that will be contained within a micro district, which is quite a sort of Soviet design, not that unusual, but in Aktau there's only really a few street names of the major thoroughfares, which run through and it's a really interesting place. I don't think it really gets any tourism and I'm not exaggerating when I say that. I mean, Kazakhstan is the ninth biggest country in the world and you can get off well, you're off the beaten track if you're out with the two main setters Nursultan and Almaty, but Aktau is really far out geographically it's very, very remote and apart from that sort of city and a few oil, this is sort of the oil part of Kazakhstan, oil cities, you're into The Desert Steppe very quickly and absolutely remote fantastically beautiful. So yeah, we start there, which it felt like a natural place to start.Suzy Chase: Talk a little bit about lunch in the Kyzylkum Desert, which means, I guess it means red sand?Caroline Eden: Yeah, that's true. I was traveling through the Kyzylkum Desert a few years back now and we stopped for lunch, I think it was about a six hour drive and this building sort of appeared in the scrubby desert and this isn't sort of like rolling sand dunes it's quite scrubby with bushes and things growing and that sort of landscape and this desert cafe appeared almost out of nowhere and the sort of saffron colored scrub, which is perfect timing. So we went in for lunch. I had a driver with me and they were making a very basic menu there you basically ate what you could smell, so you could smell the bread. They had a tandoor oven, so a beautiful, fresh chewy in the middle crisp underneath bread, shashlik you know, like skewered meat, lovely smell of that sort of smoke corkscrewing up from the grill, some little onion rings and tea. So I sat and I had this lunch and it just struck me how entirely suited it was to its remote surroundings, this lunch. And I'd never sort of eaten anyway, but so simple yet so harmoniously in tune with its really quite extreme environment and that kind of sums up Central Asia when you get out of the cities. The food is pretty simple and authentic in the sense that it's not really changed for a very long time and I just had a bit of a moment really, and I thought this is quite remarkable. I also quartered a watermelon, which I talk about in the book as well, and shared that round with some men that were sat at the raised tea bed you tend to sit on in Central Asia and yeah, I just, I had a moment in this cafe thinking this could be quite an interesting spot for a book to use the desert as the heart, and then sort of travel on way beyond the sand borders of the Kyzylkum Desert. It's not huge and it just sort of spans Kazakhstan a little bit and Uzbekistan quite a lot. So yeah, to use that as a focus and then to travel way beyond, obviously using food, again as a theme of recipes to express the journey.Suzy Chase: In Red Sands, you talk about how you have to stop and you have to digest and I was wondering, there's so much glorious, granular detail in this book did you have a pencil and paper out all the time? How did you record everything?Caroline Eden: Yeah, I mean, I have, obviously I have a notebook and a pen with me I also use a voice recorder sometimes and I take a lot of photographs. I work as a journalist part of the time and so I'm always taking notes. I do think it's actually best to take notes because a photograph can only do the visuals and a voice recording can only do the sounds whereas if you're writing, you can kind of take everything down in one go. So yeah, I mean, some of it comes later from the photographs and some of it comes at the time. It's lovely to sit in the train or sit in the cafe and just absorb what's happening around youSuzy Chase: I love that you wrote in the book "On these long journeys, the tempo of food and meal times becomes a mental rudder."Caroline Eden: Yeah, I think it does. I mean, these were big journeys, six months in 2019 in Central Asia moving around. So sometimes when I go to Central Asia, I've just been in earlier in 2020, I spent a few months just in Bishkek, in the Capital of Kyrgyzstan, but this was two long trips in the spring and autumn of six months moving around and it's exhausting. I'm not that young. I mean, I'm not that young anymore the beds are quite rough and the roads are really rough and sometimes you go a bit hungry and thirsty if you're crossing a mountain range or a desert, and it's dusty, it's quite rough and ready sometimes. In Dushanbe, for example, the capital of Tajikistan, when you go and try to arrange a car and a driver, if the economy is not so good, which is often the case, you get mobbed by drivers wanting your business, pulling you and tussling with you and shouting at you. I'm always very honest about how I report back from central Asia and it is wonderful, but it's also, it can be really hard work. It's never really scary, but it can be quite unnerving sometimes. So for me, food is good to think with, but it's also essential because it's a rest. So it helps you catch the feel of a place, but also, you know, you need to sometimes just sit down at a bar for a few hours and have a couple of beers and digest what's just happened on this journey you've been on for the last two days. I think that's really important, whatever age you are.Suzy Chase: Speaking of digesting, you were in Bishkek in October smack in the middle of the violence and you had a front row seat from your balcony. Can you talk a little bit about Bishkek before the revolution and then after the revolution?Caroline Eden: Yeah. Okay. So this isn't in the book. This year I was in Bishkek for a while with a Russian tutor my Russian is still not anywhere near where it should be and I've got a great Russian teacher in Bishkek and I was there doing some reporting as well and meeting up with some colleagues and stuff. There were elections scheduled. No one really predicted very much was going to happen. My husband's a news journalist, and I know some of the other news journalists in the region and no one was really talking this up to be a thing. And I was there in an apartment by myself on one of the main squares. Yeah it hugely kicked off. I mean, Bishkek has had two previous uprising/revolutions in the last 15 years, this is the third one and the previous two had been extremely violent with a lot of loss of life. And I had a whole night glued to the balcony apart from when the gunfire was really close and I thought the windows might get blown in watching the sky light up with explosions, listening to water cannons,grenades, constant firing. I didn't know what they were firing the police. I was terrified it was live rounds turns out it was not rubber bullets, but sort of pellets, which were very dangerous and a complete night of carnage. So...Suzy Chase: We all followed along on your Instagram with you?Caroline Eden: Yeah it took about 10 days for it to calm down and the elections now actually about to take place so we'll see what happens, but all the main parliamentary buildings were stormed, the president fled, I mean, it was complete chaos. It was really interesting. I did some news reporting for the BBC and stuff, but it was quite scary at times I was terrified people might just try and break into the apartment block to get away from whoever they were running from. I mean, these are good, solid Soviet built apartments you would have a job to do, you know, it was by myself in a city where I sort of vaguely knew two people. It was quite scary. Yeah.Suzy Chase: Oh man. So the landscape is incredible, but what you're really interested in are the man-made buildings. Talk a bit about how you named each essay.Caroline Eden: I mean every book needs a structure. I was saying this to somebody the other day and it's kind of, that sounds a bit cynical, but you've got to shape it somehow. So I was thinking, what do I think of when I think of Central Asia obviously I think of food and I think of the landscape, but actually more any of that, I do think of the man-made buildings because that's where the stories are I mean, obviously if you're a nature writer, you can talk about nature forever and how inspiring and beautiful and interesting it is but for me, I'm more interested in people and the human landscape, human stories. So for the book I wanted to structure it around a building. So Pavlodar for example, is called Konditorei. It was a cake shop I featured this fantastic cake shop and then the essay from that is Skyscraper and that's now Sultan in the North, which has the new capital because it's extremely modern and everybody always talks about the architecture there and the fantastic buildings. And then we go on to Karlag, which was the Kazakh sort of name for, for gulag like it was their particular gulag chain that Stalin set up. So that is a kind of like theme through the book, these little headings so you have a heading like Karlag and I have a subtitle Remembering Stalin's victims and then I actually have a date line a bit like you get in a newspaper. So it would be Karlag Remembering Stalin's victims, and then Akmal North Kazakhstan and the reason I did that was because I'm aware that I'm taking people to places which are quite unfamiliar still and I wanted that dateline there just to immediately place people, because there's only so much detail we could put on the map at the front of the book, the map is more primitive than I would have liked, but it just gets very, very tight, very messy if you start putting all these little place names in, and you can't really work out where one country starts, neither one ends because the essays can kind of stand alone as well you don't have to read the book. I mean, ideally read the book from start to finish, but you could read a single essay and know where you are in the world and what basically the theme is going to be.Suzy Chase: You've been writing about Central Asia for over a decade now, how has the cuisine changed?Caroline Eden: It's changed and it's not changed. So what I loved in Bishkek this time last year in 2020, when I was there for a few months, it was quite how brilliant it is that you can get a bowl of ramen then now and very good sushi. This was not possible five years ago. I dare to say, actually the sushi restaurant has been there six years, but yeah, like sort of five, six, 10 years ago, it would be shashlik and plov and samsa and quite limited menus in the cafes and restaurants and now most of the big cities in Central Asia have good coffee shops so you can get a decent latte and this all sounds very kind of like, you know, winsome and unnecessary, but again, if you've been traveling for a really long time as an outsider, you might fancy some sushi and there's nothing wrong with that. And of course, local people want this food of course, many people travel outside of Central Asia now more and more and many people go to Russia and Turkey and so the more the region opens up and the more young people, you know, travel and come back with ideas and stuff, it's sort of really changing but still in people's homes, especially outside the big cities, it's quite traditional.Suzy Chase: I was surprised to discover your favorite central Asian dish is laghman and not plov.Caroline Eden: It is my favorite dish and I loads of it in Bishkek last year. It's just really delicious. I love noodles and laghman is basically a noodle dish and it's Uyghur the Turkey people living in Jinjiang in China. So it is a Central Asian dish because those people are Central Asian ethnically, and it's a sort of mild stewed meat and vegetables. Normally the noodles are hand pulled, it gives it a sort of thickness and a slightly sort of rustic feel. And it's just really delicious. It's pretty straightforward. Yeah a mild stew of meat and vegetables on top of the noodles often with celery, which I particularly like, and often with red bell peppers, some chives on the top maybe some sesame seeds, quite filling, but basically it's lamb and there's noodles and vegetables. It's really, really nice.Suzy Chase: Can you describe plov?Caroline Eden: I can. I mean I've talked about plov so much over the years and it's wonderful. The different variations that you have of it, unlike laghman it is quite varied. So plov, there are variations of plov. Sometimes you'll have it with quails eggs on the top of this rice dish, which is cooked in layers. Sometimes you might have it with barberries or quince if it's the season, but always plov is cooked with carrots and onions and rice cooked in layers with a lot of oil. And what makes a good plov normally is the cook who makes it, first of all, it's a slow dish. It's very calorific and then perhaps the setting where you're eating it. And more recently I discovered actually very good garlic makes a difference. So in Osh in Kyrgyzstan, which is a city, which is half Kyrgys is half Uzbek. There's a man called Imenjon, who I always stay with and his plob is my favorite plov and the reason I love Imenjon's plov is because he puts then to his plov whole peeled garlic cloves, which are scattered through the rice and then as you eat the plov you mash it through with the back of your fork and then along with the strong cumin seeds, which are very well toasted and very fresh carrots and onion and plump raisins with this rice, you eat this very filling, slightly oily, delicious really Moorish plov. And the other beautiful thing about Imenjon's plov is the type of the rice, which is quite important for plov. If I'm making a plov here at home in the UK, I just use basmati rice there is no point trying to mess about the short grain rice, because it's too sticky and it grains don't separate properly, and it becomes a bit of a mess but if I'm cooking a plov in Central Asia or from eating somebody else's plov, they're probably going to use something like uzgen rice, which is the rice that Imenjon uses and it's short and fat and reddish and very flavorsome. So it's the quality like so many things, the quality of the local ingredients and Imenjon is particularly good because he cooked it for two decades at the base camp of Peak Lenin for the Soviet mountaineers so he's extremely experienced and a wonderful person and a wonderful cook. I.Suzy Chase: In part two in Autumn you move on to The Steppe Desert and mountain cradle until you end up in Tajikistan in the Fergana Valley shared by Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan can you describe the Autumn markets?Caroline Eden: Well, they're an absolute heaven to me. So I think where you're describing is Khujand. Khujand is Northern Tajikistan, and it's the Tajik section of the Fergana Valley and has got a very, very good market and there you can buy things like fabulous lemons, which are like your meyer lemons that you can buy in America, which are new to me because we cannot get them here in the UK and they've got very thin skin and they're very, very juice heavy, and they've got a slight Tangerine sort of color and taste, and they're absolutely delicious. And the markets are just terrific. The melons that they have, there will probably be winter melons in the autumn, which would be early then, but then I sort of hung up on rafters in the market through the winter and they sort of mass extra sucrose they get sweeter and sweeter and they're hanging inside the markets, which is visually amazing and all along the way, as you're driving into Khujand along the outskirts are cabbage patches and apricot trees and fields of wheat and rice, and sort of gushing channels of the Syr Darya River, which comes through Khujand and it's just very, very fertile the Fergana Valley, lots of tributaries of water feeding this region, very, very rich, a lot of cotton fields as well but wonderful Khujand it's very Uzbek as a city when the Soviet Union was crazy, there were lots of strange borders and pockets of different groups of people ended up outside of the sort of traditional ethnic groups. So Khujand while it's in Tajikistan is quite Uzbek, but yeah, really, really interesting. I enjoyed it again very much and not a place that gets any tourism really. People go there a bit because Alexander The Great ended his advance within this region there and there's a very good regional museum, which explains the military leaders life and the time that he was there and the journey there quite pretentiously because that was where he ended so I stand on the bank of the Syr Darya and say, I've now got enough because this is where Alexander The Great had also had enough and so we end in Khujand.Suzy Chase: You know, after reading about the Uzbek melons in your book, I realized I probably have never had a good melon.Caroline Eden: Well you can have them in California because a couple of Uzbek varieties are now growing in California, which is amazing to me because we certainly cannot get them here.Suzy Chase: But you're getting them there, right? Aren't the UzbekI melons coming to Britain?Caroline Eden: I've heard that they are but I haven't seen them with my own eyes yet. There's a rumor circulating, which I'm very keen on that we might be getting them. It would probably become even more difficult now we've left the European Union. Germany, which has a relatively big Russian population and Russians appreciate those melons. I've heard you can get them in markets in Berlin. You can get them in Istanbul, but yeah, I mean really want to eat them in, in Uzbekistan because they are unlike any other type of melon. There's a huge number of over a hundred different varieties but extremely sweet, extremely sweet and the fruit generally is just fabulous it's a reason alone to go really is.Suzy Chase: The recipes in Red sands are like maps in the book. What sort of criteria did you use to choose the recipes?Caroline Eden: That's a good question. So I tend to choose recipes or dishes where they have a story attached to them that will reveal to us something new. So while I couldn't do a book on Central Asia with a food focus without including plav and laghman, I would rather include something else that would tell us something new about the region. So a couple of my recipes in the book are kind of fantastical. So there's a recipe for Anna Akhmatova, the Russian poet, because she spent time in Tashkent and that allows me to then talk about sort of Tashkent being a city of bread and a sort of refuge for people during difficult periods of Russian history and another recipe, for example for zapekanka, sort of a breakfast cake by a woman called Anna who's whose guest house that I stayed at and a Caspian anchor cocktail, that's sort of inspired by sea buckthorn which is a common ingredient so they should tell a story in order to be included and reveal to us something new because while Central Asia is still relatively under explored for its culinary delights, I wouldn't say it wasn't completely fresh territory at all. There are quite a lot of books in Russian on Central Asian food and all the books have been written. So yeah, I think you have to push the boundaries a bit and do something different otherwise you're just repeating.Suzy Chase: So what I love about your writing is you take us along your adventures here and there, and you sprinkle in some old stories or writings that pertain to your experience. Um, like in Pavlodar for example, you wrote the British copper miner John Wardell had to cross the river and the voyage took him seven hours. Like for me as the reader that makes me want to delve deeper into what you're writing about.Caroline Eden: Great. Well that certainly that idea. Um, yeah, John Wardell was an incredible character. He travels to the region, I think, was it in 1916 roundabout? And he went to mine copper for the czar he was an Englishman and yeah, he traveled... makes my journey look very easy. He was very, very interested in what he found there and wrote very beautifully about the seasons and the natural world. I like to bring in one or two travelers from the past to try and show what travel was like then and what it's like now and how some of it's actually stayed the same. So yeah John Wardell, I think he crossed with all of his belongings in the early summer, that river, the Irtysh and why, and I'm the ice floes are just attaching and it just sort of shows you a different scene. Um, I think when he crosses it, he's focused on it being 10 miles wide or something like that, which it was nowhere near that way when we were there. Yeah. So the river changes and yeah, John Wardell is very interesting. He's book is beautiful. I recommend it.Suzy Chase: I’m going to have to read that, you know, from Black Sea, I read Sitwell's Roumanian Journey because you brought it up in Black Sea.Caroline Eden: I remember you said you read that, which is fantastic. It's gotten forgotten. It's a real shame. So many books are published every year and some of these old travel books just sort of fall off the map and nice to bring them back.Suzy Chase: Now to my segment called Last Night's Dinner where I ask you what you had last night for dinner.Caroline Eden: Oh goodness. So that's quite easy for me actually, because I've been cooking a lot, like everybody during lockdown from my cookbooks, my cookbook collection, which is actually very modest from Roopa Gulati's Indian Vegetarian I absolutely love it and I cooked last night, her Rajasthani Onions, which are sort of onions cooked in cream, cause I happened to have some cream leftover in the fridge and they were really, really, really nice and I made that with a kedgeree with some mackerel cause I had a mackerel leftover in the fridge as well. So I had those two things together one was a website recipe and one was Roopa's, delicious creamy onions. Yeah. I'm a big, big fan of her cooking. I made her chapati's as well and I'm going to make her bhel puri later on this week. So yeah, I'm addicted to her book it's her new one.Suzy Chase: So where can we find you on the web and social media?Caroline Eden: I'm on Twitter and Instagram. I'm probably on Twitter a bit more, but the same handle for both @EdenTravels.Suzy Chase: All your books are so special. I cannot thank you enough, Caroline, for coming on Cookery by the Book Podcast.Caroline Eden: Suzy it's been a pleasure thank you for having me back.Outro: Subscribe over on CookerybytheBook.com and thanks for listening to the number one cookbook podcast, Cookery by the Book.

Largely as a result of the pandemic, Disney has posted its first quarterly loss in decades.   Here are the details:   Disney lost $4.72 billion in the three months ending June 27, with total revenue falling 42% to $11.8 billion. The company earned a profit of $1.43 billion in the same quarter last year.   Revenues from its theatrical, theme park, and live sports businesses were severely dented by the pandemic. Costs relating to its Fox acquisition, including integration expenses and severance pay, were also a factor.   The direct-to-consumer and international division was the only one to report an increase in year-over-year revenue. In less than nine months, Disney+ has passed 60 million subscribers — a milestone Netflix took around eight years to reach. Combined with subscribers to Disney’s other streaming services, like Hulu and ESPN+, Disney has over 100 million subscribers.   The company revealed that the much-delayed Mulan will launch on Disney+ as a premium rental, costing around $30 in the U.S. and other territories. Disney CEO Bob Chapek called this strategy a “one-off,” but added that Disney+ is now the company’s top priority.   Chapek also announced a new streaming service under the Star brand it inherited from Fox; it will include content from ABC, FX, Freeform, Searchlight, and 20th Century Studios. Disney shares have rallied nearly 12% in the last two days, buoyed by the good streaming news, however they’re still down around 12% on the year.   Disney’s ill-considered decision to reopen the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando while the pandemic rages throughout the state of Florida has been profitable for the company, but less so than it had expected. “It’s worth noting that while Walt Disney World is operating at a positive net contribution level, the upside we are seeing from reopening is less than we’d originally expected given the recent surge in COVID-19 cases in Florida,” Disney CFO Christine McCarthy said on the earnings call.   The company’s last quarterly loss came in early 2001, according to Factset Data. It amounted to $567 million.   Movies – Not From Marvel Studios   FEEDBACK [1:27:18]   TWITTER   https://twitter.com/LegendsofSHIELD/status/1293719974989697026?s=20   Is New Mutants actually gonna come out in theaters this time for real?

Winter, The Huntsman By Osbert Sitwell

This episode, Daniel and Rory discuss the amazing inventions of Sir George Sitwell (including the incredible bee pistol!) and also get confused in general by TikTok.

The movie, "The Mountain Minor," is coming to the Esquire Theatre on Thursday, October 17th and Sunday, October 20th at 7pm each evening. There's a q&a session after each showing and an after party at Sitwell's on Thursday evening with live music, too. The director, Dale Farmer , and two of the actor/musicians Ma Crow and Mike Oberst from the Tillers came into the studio this morning to talk about this film. The film was shot in North Carolina for the most part with some scenes in Eaton, Oxford and the Southgate House Revival in Newport. Dale cast real musicians for acting roles in this story about an Appalachian family who came to Cincinnati for jobs and brought their music with them. The plot's based on Dale's grandparents' story which is also the story for many of us in the area. The film's made the film festival route and has garnered awards, but Thursday night is the premiere of "The Mountain Minor" movie which resonates with those who have seen it to the point of bringing

Black SeaDispatches and Recipes Through Darkness and LightBy Caroline Eden Intro: Welcome to the Cookery by the Book podcast with Suzy Chase, she's just a home cook in New York City, sitting at her dining room table, talking to cookbook authors.Caroline Eden: I'm Caroline Eden and my new book is called Black Sea: Dispatches and Recipes - Through Darkness and Light.Suzy Chase: For my 150th podcast episode I wanted to celebrate this very special, very unique book. You call this a transporting, multisensory piece of travel writing, one you can read, see and eat. Your recipes and stories are drawn not only from those living on its shores today, but the ancient legends, historical events and literary works which are embedded in its unique existence. Black Sea is a tale of a journey between three great cities tied together by the sea; what are these key cities and why did you choose to write about them?Caroline Eden: Thank you, Suzy, that was a very nice introduction, I think it sums up the book perfectly. So the three cities are Odessa, Istanbul, not on but satisfyingly close to the Black Sea, and Trabzon, and I wanted to focus on three cities, I love cities, I think you can tell so many stories through cities. And Odessa is relatively new, by European standards, 1794, Trabzon is truly ancient, seventh/eighth century BC, and Istanbul, to me the world's greatest kitchen, satisfyingly in the middle of both geographically. And my idea was to travel to those three and to stop at places in between that had particularly interesting food stories and different people I could meet and talk to and find out about the trade routes and the history surrounding the Black Sea, which really, when you start to dig into it, is an extremely multilayered sea, very ancient, looks like a lake on a map rather than a sea, when we think of the word sea.Caroline Eden: And yeah, that was the idea behind the book.Suzy Chase: Talk about the frontier theme that permeates this book.Caroline Eden: There is a frontier feeling to many of the places that I stop at along the way, a sense that the places obviously belong to the countries that they're within, but they're also set apart and joined to one another through the sea as well. And this sort of group portrait started to form as I started to travel and research, so Odessa is a very good example of this. It's Southern Ukraine, it's a port city, it was Catherine the Great's port city, and it's very Ukrainian but it's also quite Russian, you hear Russian spoken on the streets and people there would probably say they were Odessan before they'd say they were a Ukrainian, and I think it's to do with being a city which is right on the sea, which looks out to sea, that has its back, in a way, to the land behind it. And a lot of the Turkish cities that I stopped at had a similar feel, very separate, quite nationalistic often, a little bit ignored, some of these cities, so very very interesting places, and quite off the tourism map as well.Suzy Chase: So the first city you focus on in the book is Odessa; Isaac Babel, a famous chronicler of Odessa, loved scrambled eggs with tomatoes and aubergine, caviar on ice, tell me about Odessa's literary son.Caroline Eden: Oh, Isaac Babel is one of my favorite writers and it was just by chance that a wonderful translator that I know, Boris Dralyuk, was translating Odessa Stories just as I was researching the book and he very kindly donates a great poem included in the book about Odessa. But the great son, Babel, he wasn't a food writer, obviously, he was a great literary writer, but he writes amazingly well about food. So men are thwacked over the head with colanders and that sort of thing, and he describes these fantastic feasts in courtyards. And food, it's a very good tool for talking about many different things and Babel really uses this in his stories. Also, I mean, Odessa was a great port city, so lots of wheeling and dealing, and a city with underground catacombs, so let's of exploration and Babel writes beautifully about those things, and he is remembered there so well today. The rumor goes that they raised the money within the city for a statue of Babel I think two or three times quicker than they raised one for Pushkin. I mean Pushkin is absolutely revered in Odessa, he has his own museum, but people love Babel.Caroline Eden: I went to a literary flash mob there a few years ago to do a story for the Guardian newspaper and there were hundreds of people on the streets of Odessa reading Isaac Babel, which, to me, was just remarkable, it's a very literary city.Suzy Chase: It's also a city built on grain and trade, and you noticed that food was the perfect lens for understanding the city's history, but you also noticed a sort of melancholy and silence that enveloped the city, talk a little bit about that.Caroline Eden: Yeah, I mean geopolitically Ukraine is a very interesting, tricky country, but Odessa has a silence where you'd expect for it ... you know, it's a port city, you'd expect it to be quite clanging and noisy but it isn't, it's got this lovely briny, quiet, sea-whipped air and in the morning it is completely silent, you get these trams trundling around these great old pastel, peeling buildings which look like they're something straight out of a Russian novel, and it can very romantic to an outsider to experience this. It's a very, very unique city, Odessa, and yeah, a kind of melancholy.Caroline Eden: I write in the book about how sometimes you can be sat in a café, everyone's having a nice time, and all of a sudden something seems to come in on the breeze and there's a sort of melancholic atmosphere, and that's the Black Sea, it does do this, it's a strange phenomenon.Suzy Chase: Why do you think Odessa was a literary haven?Caroline Eden: Odessa was a literary haven I think because it was very far South compared to the cities [inaudible 00:06:22], Moscow and St Petersburg, and a lot of writers, Pushkin, Gogol, came down, sometimes through self-exile or exile, other times to take the air and to live in kinder climates, maybe their health wasn't so good. And like attracts like, it just became a kind of magnet for literary groups. But also Mark Twain came in, it wasn't just Russian writers, he came in on a steamboat and writes about ice cream, sort of says, "When you're in the hot climates in the East, if there's ice cream you have to eat it because you're not going to find it everywhere," and that was in Odessa, which already had a fantastic café culture when he was there.Suzy Chase: Yeah, it was interesting that Twain thought that it looked like an American city.Caroline Eden: I can't see that but I haven't traveled extensively in America, Chicago, New York, San Francisco. Yeah, I'm not quite sure what he means by that, but he does talk about that, you're right, he said that it's got ... the street layouts are familiar to him, and back then, who knows? That was likely the case.Suzy Chase: In Isaac Babel's short story, Di Grasso, he wrote, "Macaroni boiled in vats of foamy water in front of the shops, sending up steam that melted high in the heavens," what was the Italian connection to Odessa?Caroline Eden: One of the things I wasn't expecting when I got to Odessa was the Italian connection, and I had a guide for the day and she just started speaking about it, saying how the early street signs were not only in Russian but they were in Italian as well, and I thought that was amazing. And the more research I did I found out the more Italian connections, so the city's first restaurateurs were Italian, Italian was taught in schools and it was the lingua franca of the harbor, as it was in Constantinople across the Black Sea.Caroline Eden: So, to tell that story, and you said earlier about it being a multisensory book, I include a recipe for Italian street polpette, beef and pork with fennel in the sauce, very simple recipe but the kind of thing I imagine would have been served. It's said that the first dish that was served in a restaurant in Odessa was Italian meatballs. Alexander Pushkin, when he was there in Odessa in the 1820s, he says he heard Italian spoken on the street and he stayed on Italian Street in a hotel when he was there.Caroline Eden: The other amazing Italian connection was when I was researching the newspapers here in the UK, and I'm sure in the States as well, started to report these shipwrecks that were being discovered under the Black Sea, 2000 meters below. So they found, I think it was 40 to 60, different ships, [inaudible 00:08:56] marine archeologists, revealing 2500 years of seafaring history; Genoese, Venetian, Cossack assault vessels, a Roman shipwreck. One of them apparently had clay jars with diced up fish steaks inside, and this really shows the history of trade around the Black Sea because the fishing ports were all Italian originally, the first traders were Italian. And the Black Sea is a dead sea, so the top layer has oxygen, where the fish are, and about 90% of it doesn't have oxygen, and this is what preserved those shipwrecks so perfectly.Caroline Eden: So, amazing Italian connections, and things I never expected to find when I first set out on the journey, back in 2013 I did my initial Black Sea journey.Suzy Chase: I was so interested to read about the oxygen deprived waters of the Black Sea, so it's almost like there are stories on the land and then there are stories way down in the sea.Caroline Eden: That was what was so interesting, the stories were not just, as you say, on land, they started, as I started to research, to be under the sea as well, which I found almost more interesting in a way because 2500 year old ships being discovered is just amazing, and just shows how long trade and migration has been happening around that part of Europe.Suzy Chase: In the Romania section you have Czar Nicholas II imperial gala menu at Constanta. This guy squandered the nation's wealth on celebrations and 55 people manned his kitchen. He had three levels of cuisine which kind of cracked me up; simple, holiday, and parade. Can you talk a little bit about him?Caroline Eden: Well, royal families were doing their trips around the Black Sea and when he came into Constanta, the Czar came to Constanta, he came there to feast and to meet and to talk about business and military campaigns and that sort of thing, but they went on tour and they had this feast and they toured some cathedrals. And it's just an interesting slice of European history and shows how people would sail across the sea to meet one another and to feast. It was quite amazing to get that menu and an archivist in Bucharest found it for me. I just thought it was another side, but I became quite obsessed with this building called Casino in Constanta, which I say is the most amazing dilapidated building in the world, potentially, and it's sort of left in ruins. And we were very lucky to get permission to go in and take a couple of photos for the book and it's just amazing, it's right on the Black Sea, kind of on a bluff, the waves slapping it, and if it was anywhere else it would probably have been turned into a fabulous hotel or restaurant, but unfortunately the funding has never come to fruition in Constanta to save this great building where the Czar arrived.Suzy Chase: That's my favorite photo in the book, of the Casino.Caroline Eden: It's a great photo, I work with a great photographer, Theodore Kay, who's a friend of mine and lives in China, and he followed in my footsteps, taking pictures, and he's just brilliant, he's got this really cool journalistic style which I really like which I think fits the book and tells the story. I love the photography in the book, he's brilliant.Suzy Chase: Travel writer Sacheverell Sitwell took eight days to get to Romania from London on the train, he published Roumanian Journey, which I'm going to read next week when I go to the beach, and he wrote in it, "English literature is nearly silent where that country is concerned;" do you feel the same way?Caroline Eden: Certainly on the coast, Sitwell was a real character and I would also like to read more of his work, he comes from a family of true English eccentrics. Yeah, I mean Transylvania, a lot of Brits go to Transylvania and do the home-stay/trekking experience, and it is beautiful, I've been to Transylvania, but if you start to dig around the Black Sea coast of Romania I didn't meet another tourist when I was there in Constanta. A lot of Romanians were there on holiday because we were there in the summer, I was there with my husband, but no tourist. So if you want an unusual trip, including Constanta would be a good place to start, it's a very very curious place.Suzy Chase: Yeah, he wrote, "Romania is still unspoiled."Caroline Eden: Yeah, and I think it's probably true to say today to a certain extent. I might not be correct in this but as far as I understand it, the last existing true wildflower meadows are in Romania, they're very hard to find elsewhere.Suzy Chase: Talk to me about his father, who was apparently more eccentric than he was.Caroline Eden: I seem to recall that he published an entire book on forks.Suzy Chase: Yes.Caroline Eden: And he invented something called the Sitwell Egg, which was some bizarre he'd insist on having for dinner. But when I say he comes from a family of eccentrics, I think the father was even more eccentric, and Sitwell Junior was a very good writer. I haven't read his father's stuff, so I'm not sure.Suzy Chase: You write about the kashkaval cheese he finds in the round boxes of bark; can you describe this cheese?Caroline Eden: I talk about it in the book because he writes about it but it's a smoked cheese that's sort of smoked within bark, so I imagine it would be delicious and woody and smoky but I haven't yet tried it, I'm afraid, that must be my thing to do when I go back to Romania.Suzy Chase: Yeah, that should be first on your list.Caroline Eden: I think it should, it sounds delicious.Suzy Chase: Now onto Bulgaria, tell me about Elena in the tiny fishing village.Caroline Eden: Everyone always asks me about Elena and I love talking about her, and the story that she told was ... gosh, well it was very Black Sea, it sort of started off one way and ended in a kind of tragic tale. She was an amazing character, she claimed to be the last fisher woman in Bulgaria, and when I was talking to her she told me a documentary had been made about her and her life, so I have no reason to disbelieve this was the case. She was from a family of fishermen who all said, "You can't go out and fish, you'll never be able to pull out as much fish as the men," but of course she did and she proved them wrong and she was very good.Caroline Eden: And we were sort of sat at this little briny, salty little café where she was just serving beer, working there on a spare day or whatever, and sat with us and had a beer and said that she has this great connection with the sea, like lots of fishermen will talk this way and get very animated and start pulling imaginary rope through their hands when they're talking to you and describing the storms. The Black Sea is infamous for being a dangerous sea because it's got very few safe harbors. So we were talking about this and then I could tell, I talk about this in the book, that the conversation starts to skirt off course and I could see she was becoming more and more melancholic, and very tragically told me that she had lost a daughter just a few weeks ago and now goes out on the sea with a stove and some bread and stays out there all night, by herself, which is incredibly dangerous, but she said that that's her way of trying to compute and deal with the pain and the grieving process in the solitude of the sea.Caroline Eden: So I left feeling completely flattened by the conversation, she gave me a big hug at the end, and I wasn't prying, she just freely told me this, and yeah, it was very moving. But again, just sort of sums up how powerful the sea is to many people that live around it; it's work, it's emotion, it's history, it's identity. Migration is a major theme in the book, it has become a modern day migration route as well but I talk about it more from a historical point of view to make the point that it's not new that people are migrating around Europe's frontier areas.Suzy Chase: What do the fishermen do in the winter when the Black Sea is frozen over?Caroline Eden: I'm not sure, to be honest, it's not a question I asked any of the fishermen I met. I'm not sure if it freezes, I imagine parts of it would, certainly up towards Russia, on the Turkish coast I wouldn't have thought so, but I'm not sure, that's a tricky question.Suzy Chase: So what's the connection between salt and Bulgaria?Caroline Eden: Bulgaria's got a fascinating history with salt, I mean there are a few things to talk about with salt. They're very very keen on colored salts, so when I first got to Bulgaria, to a city called Varna, which is a really interesting small city right on the Black Sea coast, you often find colored flavored salts on the restaurant tables, flavored with paprika and cayenne pepper and fennel and all these different sorts of spices and herbs and things, which I really liked and I hadn't really seen that anywhere else. That was interesting, but what was more interesting is that a village not far away from Varnum was once the wealthiest town/city in Europe because of salt. So they were mining salt there and, because of the salt, became very very rich and started to create fantastic jewelry, which they had in the museum in Varna, very very very old worked gold, some say the oldest worked gold in the world, and that's all due to salt.Caroline Eden: I write in the book, "Man can certainly live without gold but he can't live without salt; without salt our muscles seize up and we can't live," so salt is such a crucial thing to people. And there's a lovely little museum, somewhere called Pomorie, where they talk about the history of salt, and people go there and they bathe in the mudflats around this museum and you can buy packets of Bulgarian salt to bathe in in your bath at home. So it sort of continues, this history of salt, but I think that the lady I spoke to in the museum said that now countries like Israel have overtaken the trade and they don't really produce it very much, or not enough for their own country, they import the salt.Suzy Chase: So, down to Istanbul, not on the Black Sea; you've been visiting Istanbul for many years and it's basically the center of this book. How has Istanbul retained its culture after all these years, and how is it tied to the Black Sea?Caroline Eden: I found Istanbul, a city I absolutely love and visit a few times a year every year, was a very Black Sea city. Somebody said this to me one night, and of course it's one of those things that once you start looking for it, you see it everywhere, so I'd get in a taxi and the taxi driver would be from, say, Rize, where for some reason a lot of taxi drivers in Istanbul happen to be from this Black Sea city where they produce the tea, up in Northeastern Turkey. I met restaurateurs and chefs who were running Black Sea cafes and restaurants. Hamam owners, I met some hamam owners who were from the Black Sea, and I also met, or went to a restaurant where Russians, White Russians, had traveled across the Black Sea and were now running these ... descendants of were running these amazing White Russian restaurants, and they came in the 1920s, fleeing the Bolsheviks.Caroline Eden: Amazing Black Sea history in Istanbul, there's a market called [inaudible 00:20:30] market where on a Sunday all the Black Sea traders travel all night to bring their Black Sea goods to sell at this market. So yeah, it's one of those things, once you start looking for it, it's everywhere.Suzy Chase: What are White Russians?Caroline Eden: So White Russians fled the Bolshevik powers, they were normally aristocratic or quite well to do Russians, and if they could leave when the Bolsheviks took power, they did. And a lot of them fled across the Black Sea and they came in. There were already Russian churches in Istanbul, so Russian churches existed, Orthodox churches, mainly for pilgrims who were heading for Jerusalem or Greece, and those churches were probably one of the first things that White Russians who would arrive into the docks of Istanbul would see, which must have been some sort of reassurance. And many of them stayed, so now there are two or three existing White Russian restaurants in Istanbul, one is called Rejens, which is the famous one, it's quite a fantastic place. The food is good, you eat things like chicken kiev and pelmeni and dumplings, they have an amazing vodka trolley full of different flavored vodkas, that trundles around the restaurant across the tiled floors, pushed by a man in a white tuxedo.Suzy Chase: That's funny.Caroline Eden: It's amazing, there's a permanent table set up for Ataturk, it's one of these incredible historical restaurants, and the air of 1920s Russia is in this restaurant, it's a wonderful place, I really love it.Suzy Chase: Describe watching the Bosporus.Caroline Eden: The Bosporus is the lifeblood of Istanbul; for me, if I think of Istanbul, I think of the Bosporus. It's this wonderful blue color and it's there and it's reassuring and it's a place to cool off in the summer. But to get on a ferry you get these lovely sea breezes when the city is stifling hot. But the Bosporus, I talk about in the book, watching it is like turning a newspaper, you can see geopolitics there on the Bosporus. So you can sit somewhere with a good vantage point and maybe a pair of binoculars if you're feeling brave, or a good zoom lens, and you can pick sometimes the names of some of the ships that are coming through. There are people who do this as a profession, these professional ship spotters in Istanbul.Caroline Eden: So this is a major waterway linking Russia and the Mediterranean, and therefore on to Syria, so you often get Putin's warships coming through, right through the center of Istanbul, you often get trading ships. So when things go wrong with, say, Russia and Georgia, or things have gone wrong with Russia and Ukraine and you get these geopolitical issues, you'll see ships coming in to bring fruit, vegetables, produce if the roads have been closed, for example, and the borders aren't open, there's different ways of trying to move produce that the Black Sea is used for.Caroline Eden: But really it's the Russian warships that get people rattled, and that's really interesting to see.Suzy Chase: On the map it looks so narrow, can two warships get through or is it just one at a time?Caroline Eden: I think you could probably get two through, it's actually at some points quite broad, and I mean you could write a book just on the history of the Bosporus, it's a fascinating waterway, and very much part of Istanbul, I mean the most important part in some ways, I think.Suzy Chase: Now I'd love to chat about the dishes that I made out of this book.Caroline Eden: Yes.Suzy Chase: So first was the Bulgur, Grape and Walnut Salad on Page 94; can you describe this dish?Caroline Eden: So it's a bulgur wheat salad and the idea comes from ... okay, someone has told me since publishing the book, "That's not an authentic Bulgarian salad," I have eaten it in Bulgaria and the point being that the Bulgarians were under Ottoman rule for several hundred years, there's huge Turkish influence in Bulgaria. If you go back before that, perhaps there wasn't any bulgur wheat, because bulgur wheat is really a Turkish, Middle Eastern ingredient. But the idea of this dish was to pair it with grapes, because Bulgaria has wonderful grapes and quite good wine culture, and the two go very nicely together. So it's kind of an invented dish, but I really love it, it's very light and it sort of shows ... there's a great problem about Bulgarians being the gardeners of Europe, and that was because in the early '90s Bulgaria exported more fruit and vegetables to this part of Europe, to Western Europe, than anywhere else. They produce fantastic fruit and vegetables, it's a reason to go to Bulgaria, the tomatoes are amazing, as they are in Ukraine actually, I have to say, as well. But really really fantastic fruit and veg.Caroline Eden: So this lovely salad, which I like very much and it's so easy to make, really tells that story.Suzy Chase: Then I made the Red Hot and Cool Strawberries on page 173, and this is something that you enjoyed in Istanbul, right?Caroline Eden: Yeah, it was just an amazing pudding I had, I'd never thought of pairing chili with strawberries before but I had it one night in Istanbul and it was just on a very, and this is a lovely summer's thing, a very very cold yogurt and then strawberries which had been cooked with some quite got chili and sugar on the top, and I just thought that was ... it was like the perfect pudding for me. Lots of people have enjoyed that one, it's always very interesting to see which recipes people really pick up on and that's been a popular one, and I love it. And I think, again, because it's very very easy to make.Suzy Chase: So then I made Black Sea Beans on Page 130, and this was a relatively easy recipe to prepare, but apparently there are bean masters that perfect this dish; talk about the bean masters.Caroline Eden: Yes, this is a very, very, very popular dish in the Black Sea region, and actually in Turkey generally, but it's all to do with the butter. So it's a very very rich bean dish, it's basically beans in a tomato butter sauce, but it's sometimes cooked in these great clay pots, which helps to give it its flavor, and when it's good it's absolutely sensational and it's such a simple thing. But it's to do with the butter because the Black Sea region, the climate it quite cool compared to the rest of Turkey, so a lot of very good dairy farming happens up there in the yaylas, which are the mountain pastures, and the cows have very good milk and they make fantastic butter. And it's this butter that they tend to use for the Black Sea beans, which makes it really special.Suzy Chase: So the last thing I made was Trabzon Kaygana with Anchovies and Herbs, talk about this salty, herbaceous cross between a fritter and an omelet.Caroline Eden: I saw on Instagram that you'd made this dish and I thought, "Fantastic," because it's one of my favorite ones in the book. It was a great adventure, I went off by myself one morning to see what was happening with the Soumela monastery, which is a cliff face monastery about a 20 minute drive outside of Trabzon, and it's been closed for a few years for renovation. So I wanted to go and see what progress was happening and I had a driver to take me there and back, a regular taxi guy, and he said, "Oh, do you want to stop for lunch? Stop at this place, it's on a little river, it's my friend's place, it's a really good spot." So I stopped there and I had lunch and this is what they served me and it was great, I don't speak Turkish, I had a waiter who spoke English and I said to him, "Please can you ask your chef for this recipe? I've never tasted anything quite like it.Caroline Eden: Because a lot of your listeners I'm sure will be familiar with the Turkish breakfast menemen, it reminded me of that but it was quite different because it's like a fritter. So it's an egg dish, obviously, and it has, when the season is right, which is normally the winter months, slivers of anchovy through it to give it that lovely salt hit. So that's how it comes, and I do it with a little bit of mint as well, which is quite an unusual flavor combination. Obviously I have very romantic memories of sitting on this little river by the Soumela monastery having this breakfast, but I hope I conveyed some of that feeling in the recipe, because it really is a lovely egg dish, very simple, and yeah, it's one of my favorites, it's a great breakfast dish.Suzy Chase: Now to my segment called My Last Meal; what would you have for your last supper?Caroline Eden: People always ask me this and I always try not to say the truth because the truth is very embarrassing. So let me-Suzy Chase: No, I want to hear the truth.Caroline Eden: Gosh, okay. Well I was at a dinner party just last week and a man asked me this question and he said, "What would your death row meal be?" And I said, "Well, ideally I would tell you that it would be some sort of splendid Uzbek Plov," which I love, it's a layered rice dish of carrots, onions, rice, maybe some quince, some lamb, cooked for hours, absolutely wonderful dish, the dish of Uzbekistan, my first book Samarkand was all about that. But if I'm absolutely honest, if I've been away for months, and I sometimes am away for that long, and I come back home, this is really British, the first thing I always eat is baked beans on toast with HP brown sauce."Suzy Chase: I love it.Caroline Eden: Yeah, I'm afraid it's kind of what I grew up eating and that is always the first thing I have and I have a feeling that might be the last thing I would eat as well.Suzy Chase: Where can we find you on the web and social media?Caroline Eden: Thank you, I am @edentravels on Instagram and Twitter.Suzy Chase: You traveled 1400 miles around the Black Sea looking at this region through its food culture, and I cannot thank you enough for coming on Cookery by the Book podcast.Caroline Eden: Suzy, it's been a pleasure, thank you very much for having me on.Outro: Follow Suzy Chase on Instagram, @cookerybythebook, and subscribe at cookerybythebook.com or in Apple Podcasts.

If you love food, you’ll love this episode. We are joined by MasterChef judge and editor of Waitrose Food Magazine, William Sitwell. Among his many notable accomplishments, William was the narrator of Michelin Stars – The Madness of Perfection. It’s a fascinating BBC documentary on the competitive nature of modern haute cuisine with lots of great behind-the-scenes action (I’ve seen it twice). We start by learning of William’s foray into college journalism before he waded into politics in his 20’s. An unlikely turn of events had him writing for Women’s Journal, penning such grippers as, “How to date again in your 40’s.” Asked during the interview for Waitrose Magazine why he felt qualified for the job, William responded, “Well, I eat!” Sitwell, the food writer and critic, was born! We discuss the anatomy of a long lunch – noon to midnight – and how the British version differs from the Continental one. In his recent book, Eggs or Anarchy, Sitwell chronicles the life of Lord Woolton, Minister for Food during WWII. We learn why Hitler couldn’t find the Ministry when it decamped to Wales and why Britain, with only 40% food security, was increasingly vulnerable to starvation as the war stretched on. Paul learns how staggered rationing works and how such rationing encouraged Brits in the countryside to hunt game. Sitwell’s earlier book, A History of Food in 100 Recipes, explores the earliest recorded attempts at cooking and baking. The first recipe: hieroglyphic instructions for making Egyptian flatbread. We speculate on the first cooked food – the flame making the meat easier to chew. Also: a detailed recipe for lamb and pork ravioli from 1470 in which the pasta is boiled for as long as it takes to say five Lord’s Prayers. Finally, we discuss the advent of the London food scene with the Roux Brothers in the early 70’s. They started Le Gavroche in 1967, followed by The Waterside Inn at Bray. Many young chefs came through their kitchen and went on to launch top restaurants of their own: Marco Pierre White, Gordon Ramsay, Marcus Wareing. In a sign of how parochial London was then, one could only get olive oil at a chemist (pharmacy) and its commercial use was cleaning out waxy ears. Today, of course, London is a mecca for chefs and foodies alike and boasts many of the world’s best restaurants. Sitwell admits there is a lack of good provincial cooking in Britain (unlike in rural France and Italy), but says things are improving. And, we touch on why so few women run kitchens today and if that’s likely to change. Enjoy this wonderful exploration of food, history and the good life with William Sitwell. Cheers!

Events are moving at a fast pace this season in Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.. Ward is ruining everything, no one is telling Fitz or Bobbi Morse anything apparently and Bobbi is returning the favor in kind. Daisy and Mack are meeting their match. Just who is Lash transforming into? And WHAT is going on with the ACTU and President Rosalind? Agent Lauren returns to discuss the finer points of the episode with Agents Stargate Pioneer and Haley. SP discloses that he is indeed a mutant. There’s a full Comic Book Weekly Roundup segment this week with Black Adam, Lauren and Neil all providing their take. And as always the hosts also take time to discuss the week in Marvel news and review all the awesome Legends Of S.H.I.E.L.D. feedback.

EPISODE "Devils You Know" [7:17]   Just what happened to Simmons on the other side of the Universe? We cannot wait to find out next episode as she tells Fitz. The three hosts all tell their theories about what is happening with one of our favorite Science Babies (Hint: Inhuman Gene). Hunter happened to have less of a plan than Starlord did. Theories abound with both Lash and Dr. Andrew Garner INCLUDING a Sitwell callback and why Lash did not kill Daisy (Thank you Adam for the theory to begin with!). Laboratory workers are nuts with their codes. Lauren is still shipping Science Baby and Science Baby Sitter (I.E. Bobbi and Simmons). We are in awe over Daisy’s capabilities as an operative now and gracious for the casting since Marvel KNEW what Chloe Bennet was going to have to do and trusted Chloe with it even though Chloe didn’t know what she was getting into. What is your shipping name for Rosalind and Coulson? As much as we want to see more of The Bus (Zephyr One) living in an RV starts smelling after a while. May’s return was AMAZING. Coulson totally DOES has a laser finger.

Just where is Marvel taking us? Whatever it is the hosts all agree that Marvel is setting us up for an incredible Agent Carter Event finale next week. This week's hosts discuss Agent Carter episode 7 "SNAFU."

SNAFU was directed by Vincent Misiano and written by Chris Dingess, an experienced crew which showed during this great episode. There was incredible interplay  between Dooley, Thompson, Sousa and Carter. And some of the best interaction between Jarvis and Carter of the series so far was in this episode. Dottie showed off some freaky skills and Leviathan is positioned to do some very bad things with the fruits of their Stark-tech theft which we've coined as "Angry Murder Gas." Is Thompson underway with a redemption arc? And sadly we bid a heroic farewell to Chief Dooley, a man who was doing the best he could to keep up with the realities of a new Superhero world. Just what is Dr. Fenhoff doing with the ring and what's his true origin story? And finally will Marvel be able to tie up all the Agent Carter loose ends during this event next episode like Finow, the lost voice boxes, what is really going on with the Stark Tech and don;t forget Roxxon Corporations involvement into the story as well.   EXTRAS: Star Trek Generations Ribbon - which Haley has never seen yet. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111280/?ref_=nv_sr_1   Continuum http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1954347/?ref_=nv_sr_1   YVRShoots - A record of movie and television shoots around the Vancouver area http://yvrshoots.com/   NEWS [28:59]   [MCU TV] AoS News - Mockingbird, played by Adrianne Palicki, is bumped up to a show regular.

Russian assassins, getting to the truth, investigation discoveries, Howling Commando action and the role of women and diversity in Agent Carter - this week is jam packed with topics for discussion. The Legends Of S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents Haley, Stargate Pioneer, and Lauren dive into Agent Carter Event episode 5 “The Iron Curtain” this week. They also discuss the week in Marvel news, interact with the live Mixlr chat room and review down all the awesome Legends Of S.H.I.E.L.D. feedback.

[3:29] Congratulations to the GonnaGeek.com video game podcast Unqualified Gamers for reaching 100 episodes this week. We certainly think they need all the support they can get since they've gone 100 episodes without being qualified to podcast about video games.  Agent Carter The Iron Curtain [3:51] The hosts find themselves on the backside of the Agent Carter special event as things heat up for Agent Carter and we learn to do as Peggy says. As usual Marvel does it best to successfully creep us out by showing us The Red Room and just why Dottie is as fundamentally crazy as she is. For those of us not making the connection at home Marvel pulls back the veiling curtain and tells us flat out that Leviathan is a secret Russian shadow organization. Marvel also tries to make us like Thompson but the hosts just can't totally get there from Thompson still being...well Thompson. And the hosts wonder why Sousa is sitting on his profound discovery and we aren't talking about what he discovered in the SSR changing room either. Plus maybe Chief Dooley isn't that bad of a guy either since he wants what we want - the truth.   MARVEL'S "AGENT CARTER" AND THE ROAD TO THE RED ROOM http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=58853   EXTRAS: Why are there so many Taylor Swift podcasts?

The @LegendsOfShield (Legends Of S.H.I.E.L.D.) Agents Haley, Stargate Pioneer, Consultant Wing and Undercover Hydra Agent Jay break down the Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. episode Ye Who Enter Here! Undercover Hydra Agent also hosts and produces the Doctor Who GonnaGeek.com network podcast called Gallifrey Public Radio and cohosts the CW television Show Arrow GonnaGeek.com network podcast called The Starling Tribune. Jay is subbing this week for Agent Lauren who found herself with an uncontrollable urge to touch The Diviner and is now in recovery from her rather extensive Obelisk caused injuries. This week’s podcast crew also will run down the week in Marvel news, and review down all the awesome Legends Of S.H.I.E.L.D. feedback.   Ye Who Enter Here” Episode Discussion [5:13]     Everyone debates what Skye’s dream actually was and what it really meant. Especially since it was not referred to again in the episode. No one really knows why she had the dream either.   Mack’s toy Lola comes just in time for the Christmas season. But will it convince Coulson to let Mack touch Lola – once he recovered from his exposure to whatever was at the bottom of the shaft plus the subsequent fall down that very same shaft! Wing really liked Mack but Stargate Pioneer is still hesitate about what exactly Mack is doing with Mockingbird.   Haley thinks that Mack and Bobbi are actually in another secret Marvel style organization like SWORD sent in to monitor Coulson and the remnants of S.H.I.E.L.D. in hiding. Last season Marvel did the bad secret organization. Haley thinks that this season Marvel wants to do the good organization so not to be too silly.   Also, Bobbi Morris is being played as the evil spy agent but it will really turn out to be a Hydra brainwashed Simmons made by Bakshi and Whitehall to “comply.” Haley also thinks that the S.W.O.R.D. type organization will be involved in Avengers 2 as well.   Haley also thinks that Bobbi and Lance Hunter will breakup and that is the oncoming storm that Mack was referring to.   Haley and Jay were pleased to see Trip with a more prominent role in this episode.   Everyone loves Evil May (Agent 33) and her scar / damaged face mask.   The Skye-Agent 33 fight wasn’t exactly the quality of the May-Agent 33 fight but it was still a good addition to the show. And reminiscing about May without her dress was tops on everyone’s mind.   Haley was disappointed that Skye didn’t shoot Ward in his foot on The Bus.   Why was Raina not in the interrogation room? Why did she have a lanyard?   Just how many Koenig brothers are out there? And they get all the cool toys wlike a cloak umbrella. And no Koenig will EVER hook up with Agent May.   Haley mentions Patton Oswalt’s Park and Rec Star Wars ad lib scene again: http://youtu.be/5BBhNkywMJY “Patton Oswalt's Star Wars Filibuster - Parks and Recreation”   Haley seems to think that Simmons has a relationship with Fitz but its only a friendship and not romantic at all. Simmons seems more fancied with Trip. Haley also hopes that Fits is brought down the super villain path because it would be great for the story and bad for the feels. Wing thinks that killing Ward will be what turns Fitz to be a Villian.   Would Fitz been able to shoot Mack? And Is Mack Dead? No.   Stargate Pioneer is smitten with Mockingbird’s tasing batons.   Haley feels that Fury’s body count number would have been 3 million. Jay and Wing think it would have been much, much higher. Coulson is minor league here.   Where is General Talbot with Corporeal Mustache these days?   Stargate Pioneer wonders if Ward really killed his parents and brother or if it will lead us down yet another deceptive path.   Stargate Pioneer rants and raves about a “Cold War Frequencies.” There is no such thing. Haley says yes there is in Comic Book Science.   Haley jumps at the chance to talk about how awesome May is.   And why in the world does Skye willingly go with Ward?   Jay wants to see Oliver Queen from Arrow and Melinda May fight. And of course it would end up with them sleeping with each other. And Stargate Pioneer loved May hitting the Hydra guys with the van just like Felicity did in the penultimate Arrow Season 2 episode with Ravager.     Raina and Skye have very intense conversations.   Ward was not only being strategic taking Skye as a bargaining chip but also because how much he loved Skye. In a very crazy sort of way.   Reed Diamond makes an incredibly good villain in Whitehall.   Haley, Jay and Stargate Pioneer talk about Sitwell’s (Maximiliano Hernandez) appearance on The Walking Dead.   Haley’s list of unwatched movies grows even longer this week with mention of The Untouchables   Haley tries her best to make up for Lauren and cries “Science Babies!” whenever she has to.   See how many times Wing, Haley and Jay try to annoy Stargate Pioneer and make Crimson Comet style poop jokes throughout the episode.   NEWS [45:33]   Star Wars Trailer http://youtu.be/erLk59H86ww   George Lucas Star Wars Trailer version http://youtu.be/v93Jh6JNBng Lego Star Wars Trailer Version A: http://youtu.be/qpfWrh1scZU Version B: http://youtu.be/6BKHhP8sUR8   Baymax and BB-8 Art https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B5-a6XlCQAAVTpJ.jpg:large http://static.squarespace.com/static/5391148de4b011988e2d3356/t/5498d9ebe4b0a4688eb097cd/1419303404076/ https://img0.etsystatic.com/047/0/7836210/il_fullxfull.692452228_bfmf.jpg   James Gunn on Nebula http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Guardians-Galaxy-Director-Loves-Nebula-Has-Huge-Plans-Her-68460.html   Michael Rooker interview, Yondu will be in Guardians 2 http://www.nerdist.com/2014/11/exclusive-actor-michael-rooker-talks-yondu-and-the-future-of-guardians-of-the-galaxy/   Avengers 2 reshoots, Avengers 3 & 4 will shoot back to back http://collider.com/avengers-2-reshoots/#more-374284   Black Panther & Captain Marvel in Avengers 2? http://badassdigest.com/2014/12/01/avengers-reshoots-could-mean-captain-marvel-is-cast-by-january/   Emily Blunt willing to play Captain Marvel http://screencrush.com/emily-blunt-captain-marvel/   What would a great character in Marvel be for Yvonne Strahovski to play?   A Gender switched Doctor Strange would be Segourney Weaver and Yvonne Strahovsk could play a gender switched Thor.   Agent Carter - 2 hour premiere http://marvel.com/news/tv/23724/marvels_agent_carter_to_debut_with_a_2-hour_premiere   Agent Carter previews http://www.marvel.com/videos/watch/4882/marvels_agent_carter_-_preview_1 http://www.marvel.com/videos/watch/4883/marvels_agent_carter_-_preview_2   Stephen Amell: Agents Of SHIELD Arrow Crossover. http://comicbook.com/2014/12/02/stephen-amell-wants-to-do-an-arrow-and-agents-of-s-h-i-e-l-d-cro/   Agents of SHIELD 5.3 million - highest since season premiere - losing to NCIS: New Orleans in overall ratings, kicking ass in 18-49   Feedback [64:46]   TWITTER   Christy ‏@adanagirl  Nov 21 @LegendsofSHIELD Baymax has joined the crew   Jay Witten ‏@scopehound  Nov 24 @LegendsofSHIELD oh my god, can you even imagine?

Edith Sitwell (1887-1964) var en kvinna som inte gick spårlöst förbi, varken som poet eller person. Kanske allra mest det senare. Hennes egna och excentriska stil väckte förundran, och beundran. I år är det femtio år sedan Edith Sitwell avled, men hon fortsätter att fascinera och inspirera både modeskapare och musiker. Hej Morrissey. Någon så kallad kvinnlig blygsamhet led hon inte av. När hon som liten flicka fick frågan om vad hon skulle bli som stor, svarade hon självklart: Ett geni. Mer om Edith Sitwell hör ni i veckans STIL. I dag har man även börjat omvärdera Edith Sitwell arbete som poet, något som under hennes senare livstid skymdes av hennes färgstarka personlighet. Men helt oälskad och oförstådd var hon sannerligen inte. 1954 utsågs hon till ”Dame of the British Empire”, den högsta orden man kan få som kvinna i Storbritannien. Men kanske ligger hon idag än mer rätt i tiden. Hon ansåg att mycket av en dikts mening ligger i ljudet den skapar och började redan 1922 läsa sina dikter till musik på scen. Att kalla Edith Sitwell för den första vita kvinnliga rapparen är kanske att ta i, men helt fel är det inte heller.   I veckans program har vi träffat en svensk färgstark kvinna som, likt Edith Sitwell, är dramatisk och ”liteförmycketavallt” – Ann-Sofie Francisca Lundin som uppträder under namnet Min Stora Sorg. Vi har även fått en pratstund med The Space Lady, som besökte Stockholm för ett par veckor sedan. Det är artistnamnet på Susan Dietrich Schneider, en kvinna som har befunnit sig ute i samhällets periferi under större delen av sitt liv. Utrustad med en liten synth och med en vingprydd hjälm på huvudet har hon under många år försörjt både sig själv och sin familj som gatumusikant i San Francisco och Boston. Genom sin musik och sina gatuframträdanden har The Space Lady med tiden blivit en slags kultfigur, hennes heminspelade låtar har nyligen getts ut på nytt och nu, vid 66 års ålder, har The Space Lady bytt ut gatan mot scenen. Vi tar även en titt på den senaste modeaccessoaren – katten. Som Edith Sitwell hade flera stycken av. Modeskaparen Karl Lagerfeld har inte bara gjort sin vita fluffiga katt Choupette till en stjärna genom att göra henne till omslagskisse på tyska Vogue. Han har skaffat henne konto på både instagram och twitter, gjort henne föremål för boken Choupette: The Private Life of a High-Flying Fashion Cat (i vilken hon ger moderiktiga tips om allt från kosthållning till klädstil). I november lanseras dessutom en kollektion med accessoarer – The Choupette Capsule Collection”. Katten har helt klart slagit ut chihuahuan som den mest moderiktiga accessoaren, och inget framkallar sådana känslor av ”awwwwwww”, som youtubeklipp på just katter. Varför? Det har vi kollat upp. Veckans gäst är Johan Hakelius, författare till flera böcker om brittiska excentriker.

A talk given by Dr Deborah Longworth of the University of Birmingham to celebrate the donation of the Neil Ritchie Sitwell Collection to Merton College.
