Evie Harbury: My Bohemian Kitchen

Cooking the Books with Gilly Smith

Show Notes

This week, we’re off to the Bohemian Kitchen of Brit-Czech writer, Evie Harbury

My Bohemian Kitchen is a nostalgic trip through the memories of a place Evie only knows through summers with her Czech granny and her dad’s childhood memories as she investigates the traditional cooking techniques of this largely untapped culinary region. The result is an adventure in refusing to follow the rules and finding a kindred spirit among the Bohemians of her bloodline.

Pop over to Gilly's Substack for a recipe from My Bohemian Kitchen which you can buy from the Cooking the Books shop at Bookshop.org to support this advertising free podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
