Customer Reviews

Must have book for Croatian families and future generations !

The best of Croatian cooking is a great Cookbook for anyone that would love to cook the Croatian dishes that they love. Recipes are simple to follow and the results are great . I have bought so many of these books, giving them to my family members and to my friends who are not Croatian but they love Croatian food. Very easy to follow, even if you never cooked anything in your life ;)

Excelent book

If you need to keep the Croatian culture in the family, you need to have this book on home!

Croatian Cookbook in English

Before my trip to Croatia I wanted to become acquainted with Croatian cuisine. Also, I collect cookbooks from my travels, so this way I had the book in hand BEFORE I left and didn't have to search for it in Croatia. I have already tried several recipes which are simple and good. I was pleased with my purchase.

A varied cuisine seldom reflected in regional cookbooks

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.

Great Overview of Croatian Specialties

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"
