"Humble-sounding food with not-so-humble flavours. Just gorgeous!" POPPY COOKS

"Finally! A much anticipated cookbook from Czechia, and what a cookbook. Delicious recipes and words and images full of character, history and beauty." OLIA HERCULES

My Bohemian Kitchen is a charming collection of Czech recipes with roots in nostalgia and a surprisingly modern take on seasonality and sustainability in the kitchen.

Welcome to the food of Evie Harbury, whose Bohemian kitchen bridges the Czech Republic of her heritage and her home in East London. The book brings to life her long summers spent at her granny's mill in South Bohemia with her personal stories about Czech food and culture. As Evie's childhood memories simmered alongside more recent days spent with friends and family in Bohemian kitchens, Evie realised how much of the Bohemian spirit lives through hospitality and knew she had to write about the cultural ties between this unique country and its relationship with food. Alongside the snapshots of this food are her deliciously simple recipes that capture the influences of the Czech Republic's neighbouring countries. Even if you know nothing of this region, there's so much to discover and enjoy.

The quaint and quirky chapters include:

A Bit(e) of History

Granny (Babicka)

Beer Snacks such as Marinated Cheese (Nakladany Hermelin)

Soups such as Chanterelle and Dill (Kulajda)
