hey there!

Hey, I'm Tereza!

I'm the heart and hands behind Free to Flower, a homestead kitchen food blog centred on from-scratch cooking, sourdough baking, fermentation, and seasonal recipes.

After stepping away from fast-paced city work and returning to my family's European farm, I began cooking daily with fresh, seasonal ingredients from our land.

Every recipe shared here is developed and tested in my own working kitchen, using traditional methods designed for reliable, practical home cooking.

Here You'll Find:

  • From-Scratch Recipes & Sourdough Baking:
    Family-friendly meals, traditional breads, and sourdough recipes developed and tested in a working homestead kitchen, with clear instructions and dependable results.
  • Seasonal Cooking & Food Preservation:
    Guides to fermenting, canning, freezing, and storing food safely, plus seasonal recipes inspired by fresh, in-season ingredients.
  • Traditional Kitchen Skills & Herbs:
    Practical instruction for cooking with culinary and medicinal herbs, preparing simple herbal remedies, and strengthening foundational home cooking skills.

Fun Facts

  • After a traumatic first C-section, I chose to freebirth my next two babies at home - a decision that deeply shaped how I think about responsibility, intuition, and traditional living.
  • I grew up riding horses in the countryside and still love being in the saddle whenever I can. In winter, you'll find me skiing with my family.
  • There's almost always a sourdough starter on my counter, and fresh bread with good butter is my idea of comfort food.
