Lauren Taylor chats to Evie Harbury about her debut cookbook and the food of her heritage

FOR most British people Czech cuisine is "kind of a mystery", says chef and cookery author Evie Harbury... "apart from the beer".

Czechia, or the Czech Republic, is probably best known for its capital Prague, but its food has gone a little under the radar.

"People sometimes can't place it on a map," the 31-year-old notes.

England-born with Czech heritage on her dad's side, Evie spent her childhood summers visiting her grandmother in south Bohemia, an hour from Prague, making hot chocolate on a wood-fired stove and cooking spekacek sausages over an open fire. "She was in a retired flour mill in a little hamlet, very rural, really off grid."
