Hello!
Welcome, I’m so glad you’re here! Whether you’re from the Balkans or not, if you’re a lover of delicious food, helpful lifestyle and entertaining tips, and enjoy learning about new ingredients and cultures, you’re in the right place.
If you’re not familiar, the Balkans is a region that includes countries on the Balkan Peninsula in the southeast of Europe, including most of the former Yugoslavia.
Over the years, I’ve had friends, relatives, and acquaintances ask me for recipes and entertaining inspiration, both Balkan and not. Those conversations led me here.
A little bit about me….
I was born in the Šumadija region of Serbia and moved to the USA when I was 5 years old. Even though I’ve lived in the USA for most of my life, my roots keep me firmly connected to the homeland. Every visit feels like going home after a long trip. I enjoy learning and perfecting old traditional recipes, remedies, and traditions. In the meantime, my husband and I enjoy trying new restaurants and cuisines, spending as much time as possible in nature, and entertaining friends and family whenever we get a chance. Our home is always the destination of choice for gatherings and good food.
So make yourself comfortable and stay awhile, I’ll put the coffee on…

A quick but important note: I am most active on my Instagram page, posting my Balkan life in America daily. I share tips, tricks, and quick recipes that don’t always end up here. I often show you my cooking “in the moment” too! While this website serves as the “home” for all of my posted recipes, I am most active on Instagram. If IG is not your thing, I also have a Facebook page of the same name where you can see all new posts. Come on over!
