My Bohemian Kitchen

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 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 (Babi?ka) My Bohemian Larder Beer Snacks such as Marinated Cheese (Nakládan Hermeln) Soups such as Chanterelle and Dill (Kulajda) The Main Event such as Beef Goulash (Hov?z gulá?)
