Description
DATE OF RELEASE: 18 SEPT 2025
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.
The day her elderly neighbour in Southern Bohemia burst through a broken panel of her fence wielding eleven home-grown cucumbers to give to Evie to pickle, she knew she had to write about this unique country and its relationship with food. Alongside the snapshots of this relatively under-represented food in the book are her deliciously simple recipes that capture the influences of the Czech Republic's neighbouring countries. The quaint and quirky chapters include Beer Snacks, The Main Event, Vegetarinsky, Bohemian Baking and A Little Tipple.
Recipes include Marinated Cheese (Nakldan Hermeln), Chanterelle and Dill Soup (Kulajda), Beef Goulash (Hovez gulš), Strawberry Dumplings (Jahodov knedlky) and Honey Cake (Medovnk).
