Simple Tuesday calls for a simple recipe, and that’s just what this salad is. Most of the traditional main dishes call for a simple salad as a fresh addition to the meal, either it’s fresh lettuce, lamb’s lettuce, arugula or even coleslaw, tomatoes and any other seasonal vegetable. And what would a salad be without…

New Year’s post – Steamed broccoli, broad beans, green beans & potatoes
This post is the 2nd part of the New Year’s post I’ve shared with you yesterday. What would a Grilled Adriatic bream be without an equally delicious side dish. This a simple, traditional side dish we always make when preparing grilled fish at the Croatian seaside, and the best part about it is that you…
New Year’s post – Grilled Adriatic bream
For the last day in the amazing 2017 I prepared an equally amazing recipe that showcases Croatian fresh products and simple delicious cuisine. 2017 was an incredible one for me: I went to Krakow, Poland on a road trip with six of my friends I visited the island of Vis and Hvar where I used…
Grilled honey and mustard glazed chicken thighs & roasted potatoes with thyme
As I returned home, I’ve been craving all of the food that I didn’t have the chance to prepare and enjoy for two weeks. One of those dishes is Honey and mustard glazed chicken thighs and roasted potatoes, which I would prepare during the holiday season each year at least once. It is pretty simple…
Bratwurst & cabbage pasta
I hope everyone had an amazing and warm Christmas with their family or people they love. I must admit I had one of the best ones yet. I spent my Christmas in Budapest, first time away from home, and even though I missed some of the traditional dishes I’d usually have prepared at home, I…
Raspberry, poppy seed & cream cheese tart
A week ago I shared a recipe that uses an interesting combination of ingredients like apricot, poppy seed and cream cheese. This is a version of that tart, but with raspberries. I made it a couple of days ago when my friends came over, the same ones who tried the first one and liked it…
Pineapple, strawberry, banana & white chocolate cake
Well I’ve got a treat for all of you today! Here in Zagreb the wind’s been blowing like crazy, and I decided to spend my day in the kitchen, baking a cake of course. Pineapples and strawberries have always been one of my favourite combinations, there’s a small juice bar where they make an amazing…
Glass noodle stir-fry
It’s been a lazy Sunday so far and I’ve been binge watching Mindhunter all day. Immersed in the show I had to prepare something quick, easy and delicious, and that’s just what this glass noodle stir-fry is. When preparing stir-fry I always think about balancing out the flavours to get the perfect combination that any…
Lasagna 2.0
Last night as I was coming home from a night out, to my surprise and for the first time this season it started snowing in Zagreb. It didn’t take long until all the streets and rooftops of the houses around me were covered in snow, it was like a miracle. So the next day when…
Steak, rice & drunk salsa
It’s that time of the week again – Friday! What’s more fitting on a Friday than a recipe including alcohol, and this one certainly has it, both in the steak marinade as much as it has in the salsa. First time I stumbled upon a drunken salsa recipe, I was very interested how it would…
Cream cheese, poppy seed & apricot pie
Yes it’s that time of year again! – December is here and the Christmas market is up in Zagreb. Each street coming to the main square is lit up in Christmas lights, your taste buds go crazy at the scent of delicious food coming from the food stands at the market, you can hear groups…
Beef & Mediterranean vegetables fajitas
The perfect week for me would be if I could only eat tortilla dishes each day, of course always preparing various new and old recipes, my family wouldn’t agree and they wouldn’t even want to see tortillas in the house after the third day of my perfect week. I love tortillas as fajitas, enchiladas, tacos,…
