Pileći Kebap

Nema ništa bolje u tri sati.

Rižot = Risotto

Thursday, July 19th, 2007

In addition to the Adriatic Sea, coastal Croatia shares centuries of history with Italy. That said, it won't be surprising to learn that Arborio rice is prepared and enjoyed in much the same way as Italian risotto in Dalmatia. In fact, a few recipes are practically identical. One of the ...

Say Yes to Quack

Monday, December 25th, 2006

I enjoyed one of my favorite meals at a favorite St. Louis restaurant the other night. Next time you're in Missouri's Gateway City, you'd do well to visit Wei Hong Bakery & BBQ (3175 South Grand Avenue, 314-773-8318) and order the roast duck on rice, a testament ...

The Last of the Yesterturkey

Monday, December 4th, 2006

It ends today. Aw, sweet geez, it's fried slices of an extremely dense soufflé made from The Last of the Yesterturkey, unused herb stuffing nuggets, cheddar, cream cheese and many eggs. The very least I could have done was use turkey eggs, but I couldn't find any. Why don't people eat ...

Dolac: The Farmer’s Market in Zagreb

Tuesday, June 6th, 2006

I come from a family of produce hucksters, so I love open-air farmers' markets. The sights, sounds and smells always remind me of visiting Soulard Market or Produce Row in St. Louis with my Gammy as a wee spud. Zagreb's farmers' market is pretty incredible. The marketplaces I've seen in Croatia's ...

A Barbecue in the Country

Saturday, May 27th, 2006

As much as I've enjoyed my time in Zagreb before the jaunt to Pelješac, a little time in the country was just what the doctor ordered. So I went with my dear friend Kornelija to her hometown of Zdenčina. The expedition from Zagreb's main rail station was a pleasant thirty ...
