The Best of Croatian Cooking

Rating:
Summary: A varied cuisine seldom reflected in regional cookbooks
Review: Croatia's turbulent history has resulted in a varied cuisine seldom reflected in regional cookbooks, and The Best of Croatian Cooking provides an excellent selection of over 200 dishes from classic main courses to desserts. Recipes have been modified for easy preparation and American kitchens but are filled with appeal and retain their cultural authenticity.

Summary: Great Overview of Croatian Specialties
Review: This book covers all regions of Croatia! The dessert chapter is comprehensive and includes some desserts made with chestnut puree, my all time favorite! I visited the web site and was pleasantly surprised to see comments by Croatian celebrities endorsing the book! I also felt good buying the book knowing that some of the proceeds are going to "Warchild". The book makes a great wedding shower gift too...I'd originally purchased it for my best friend but I've also bought one for myself too! A great way to re-connect with our Croatian roots and learn to cook like our mothers and "babas"
