Refrigeration has changed our height, our health, and our family dynamics; it has reshaped our kitchens, ports, and cities; and it has reconfigured global economics and politics … And it sounded the death knell for several species.

Introduction
Every modern home has a refrigerator. So much of our time is consumed by what we eat that the fridge is at the center of our kitchens and our lives.
The fridge has made fresh food a given, but how often do we think about the structures that allow us to eat green vegetables in winter or bananas from the other side of the world?
Nicola Twilley is an author, journalist, and host of Gastropod, a podcast exploring food through history and science.
In her 2024 book, Frostbite, Twilley reveals how refrigeration revolutionized our societies and changed humanity.
Looking at the past, present, and potentially turbulent future of refrigeration, Twilley dissects how our addiction to cold has fed our habits and expectations around food.
