all about Eva

A few years back I left behind a life in Slovakia to finally kick-start my distant dream – to work with and live around food. Exchanged my TV, journalist, event manager and advertiser career, cosy flat and childhood friends for the fun and gritty life in my beloved Bristol. At the time, I had been a workaholic, freshly out of a long-term relationship, living rather indulgently on an unsustainable financial edge, keeping my sanity and limping self-care together in my little home kitchen. I knew that if I set all that aside and follow my intuition towards my real passion, all will fall into place.

That’s when my own brand started. Starting again from scratch with less was scary, but the change that came with each new professional kitchen was incredible, addictive, irreversible. The colours, textures, smells and endless variations of kitchen life filling my every day as a chef with joy and curiosity. Encouraged and inspired by all I saw and got my hands on, my own brand of baked goodness from my home oven and table was born. 

I know few greater profound pleasures (and adrenaline rushes) than serving my own food to my customers and friends. I hope my story inspires you and I will help create a taste of that “Sunday any day” feeling for you with my cakes, bakes and dishes, and perhaps introduce you to some previously unknown Slovakian treats – let our foodie adventures begin!

all about my food

I like simplicity with a twist, colour and texture play. Food to comfort as well as food to excite. I will most likely make a favourite classic with an unexpected ingredient or tweak the typical homeland cakes and dishes with new foreign flavours. Always on the lookout for the next best recipe or that subtle change in my technique that will improve the wholesome result.

I constantly work on minimising my food waste, buying locally where possible, investigating into healthier alternatives on demand. I am more than happy to cater for all dietary requirements, though I don’t (yet) specialise in vegan baking.
