## Resource

For much of the world, refrigeration is such a commonplace technology that we rarely stop to wonder at the many ways it has transformed our lives. From the foods we grow to where we grow them, from how they taste to what we eat, refrigeration has dramatically - and quite recently - changed our relationship to food, our health, and the environment. As  Nicola Twilley  describes in  Frostbite: How Refrigeration Changed our Food, Our Planet, and Ourselves , progress, as it so often does, comes at a cost. Twilley, who also cohosts the award-winning food podcast  Gastropod , joins us in this week’s TPWKY book club episode to discuss the surprising history and tenuous future of refrigeration. You’ll never look at your fridge the same way again.
