There’s nothing quite like being gifted a Milka chocolate bar as a child. If you’re from the Balkans then you know all about the significance of the chocolate bar. Balkan countries are known for their hospitality after all, so it’s not surprising that some form of gift is usually being […]
A Balkan-style cookie tray wouldn’t be complete without some kind of wafer cookie. Whether that’s an Oblanda or something like this recipe that I’m sharing today, wafer cookies are a must when exploring the world of “sitni kolaci”. Bananica Rolat is a quick and easy addition that uses a traditional […]
A staple recipe for me is one that finds itself at both formal and casual tables, regardless of occasion. One of those is definitely cornbread and in recent years the muffin-shaped kind have been the most popular way to serve it. Of course there is the plain variety, and then […]
The holidays have come and gone and I don’t know about you, but I was just not all that in the spirit this time around. However, the traditional recipes, the yummy foods and treats, and this cake really helped. 🙂 A no-bake Nutella Keks Torta was exactly what I needed […]

Fall is here and I say bring on all the comfort food. Pasulj, Krompir Paprikas, Teleca Corba, and all of the other yummy delicious stick-to-your-ribs meals that are so familiar this time of year. And as the days get cooler, nothing helps you fill up and warm up better than […]
