Evie Harbury Author Talk • My Bohemian Kitchen

Evie Harbury is a Bohemian-British food writer and a proud member of the Guild of Food Writers. After finishing her culinary training at Le Cordon Bleu, London in 2016, Evie has since been working as a home economist, food stylist, recipe developer and chef. Brought up between England and South Bohemia, Czech Republic, by an eccentric epicure of a father and an avant-garde, creative, baking mother, Evie is now an East London-based Bohemian (and has adopted some of these qualities). 

Evie’s writing work includes recipes for cookbooks, commercials and television series, as well as working on both film and stills as a food stylist and home economist. Her screen and print credits include several household names such as Dame Mary Berry, Tom Kerridge and Mary McCartney. With her hunger for creating the most beautiful food, the most delicious plate, and the most satisfying creation in whatever form, she approaches every day in the kitchen as a bit of an adventure.

My Bohemian Kitchen — 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.
