My Bohemian Kitchen
A Nostalgic Guide to Modern Czech Cooking
This is regional cooking with a very strong identity. It's Czech food via traditional recipes, hints of nostalgia and a surprisingly modern take on sustainability, seasonality, and popular cooking techniques.
Author Evie Harbury brings to life her long summers spent at her granny's mill in South Bohemia with her personal stories about Czech food and culture. Alongside the snapshots of this under-represented food are her deliciously simple recipes that capture the influences of Czechia's neighboring countries.
The quaint and quirky chapters include:
- Beer Snacks
- The Main Event
- Vegetariansky
- Bohemian Baking
- A Little Tipple
Recipes include Wild Garlic Buns, Chicken with Beer, Midnight Money Lentils, Kohlrabi Salad, Apple Strudel and Marble Bundt Cake.
Evie Harbury is a Bohemian-British food stylist, chef and recipe writer. Brought up between Bath, England, and Tabor, Czech Republic, by an eccentric epicure of a father and an avant-garde, creative, baking British mother, Evie is now an East London-based Bohemian (and has adopted some of these qualities). The day her elderly neighbor in Southern Bohemia burst through a broken panel of her fence wielding eleven homegrown cucumbers to give to Evangeline to pickle, she knew she had to write about this quirky country and its relationship with food. Evangeline 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 neighbors, eats goulash and writes.
