July 2024 Newsletter

On Fri. July 12, Nicola Twilley, a contributor to The New Yorker and co-host of the award-winning podcast, Gastropod, came in for a discussion of her new book, Frostbite.

Frostbite is an engaging and far-reaching exploration of refrigeration, tracing its evolution from scientific mystery to globe-spanning infrastructure, and an essential investigation into how it has remade our entire relationship with food—for better and for worse. A deeply researched and reported, original, and entertaining dive into the most important invention in the history of food and drink, Frostbite makes the case for a recalibration of our relationship with the fridge—and how our future might depend on it.
