Stories and Tasters from Evie Harbury’s Bohemian Kitchen

Join Evie Harbury, food stylist, chef, and debut author, and Lou Kenney, a fellow cookbook author and senior food stylist, for a festive evening of Czech flavours and storytelling to celebrate the launch of Evie Harbury‘s first cookbook, My Bohemian Kitchen.

Evie’s Bohemian kitchen bridges the Czech Republic of her heritage with her home in East London, inspired by long summers at her grandmother’s mill in South Bohemia. Her book celebrates Czech food and culture through seasonal, sustainable, and simply delicious recipes – from beer snacks to goulash and cakes – all infused with the warmth of Czech hospitality.

At this special pre-Christmas event, Evie will demonstrate three traditional recipes: Marinated Cheese (Nakládaný Hermelín), Rum Truffles (Rumové Kuličky), and Hot Spiced Wine (Svařák). Guests will enjoy tastings, take part in a Q&A, and have the opportunity to purchase signed copies of the book.

Testimonials:

"Your book is terrific. As someone whose family history is a little similar to yours, I found your grandmother’s story extremely interesting. I have reconnected with my Czech roots, bought a flat in Prague, am learning the language, and am learning to “cook Czech”. Your book will guide and inspire me and it is beautifully written and produced. Congratulations and I wish you every success with your future Bohemian endeavours!”

"I am really looking forward to your upcoming cookbook, finally a book about Czech cuisine. My family comes from Czechia and we live in Sydney, Australia. I cannot wait to explore your recipes”
