""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 (Babička)

Beer Snacks such as Marinated Cheese (Nakládaný Hermelín)

Soups such as Chanterelle and Dill (Kulajda)

The Main Event such as Beef Goulash (Hovězí guláš)

Meatless Mains such as Lucky Lentils (Čočka na kyselo) Something Sweet such as Strawberry Dumplings (Jahodové knedlíky)

Bohemian Baking such as Honey Cake (Medovník)

Evie Harbury is a Bohemian-British food stylist, chef and recipe writer. Brought up between Bath, England and Tábor, Czech Republic, by an eccentric epicure of a father and an avant-garde, baking British mother, Evie is now an East London-based Bohemian. Evie divides her time between her London Fields home where she bases herself for filming and commercial work and her ""chalupa"" (cottage) in South Bohemia, where she grows vegetables, cooks for neighbours, eats goulash and writes. Her television and cookbook credits include work with household names such as Dame Mary Berry, Mary McCartney, Rosemary Shrager and Tom Kerridge.
