Notes about Recipes in this book

  • South Bohemian cabbage soup (Zelňačka)

      As the recipe says this is great for winter. Delicious and hearty flavours. Make sure to use a good stock for the soup.

      This was delicious. I made some slight changes by just cooking everything in one pot instead of cooking the potatoes separately. Flavors were good. Will make again.

Publishers Text

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
  • Bohemian Baking
  • A Little Tipple

Recipes include Wild Garlic Buns, Chicken with Beer, Midnight Money Lentils, Kohlrabi Salad, Apple Strudel and Marble Bundt Cake.
