Some would argue that baked apples aren’t a dessert at all. But I beg to differ. If you manage to get some organic apples of the smallest variety (such as lady apples), this is the best way to use them up. A mid-week treat to surprise your family when you’re in a rush – these…
Pasta with tomato sauce and prawns
The ultimate lazy lunch. Sometimes, when I don’t really feel like cooking, but we’re both home and it would be nice to have a decent meal together, I whip this up in no time. And Milan never complains – this pasta with tomato sauce bursts with flavor and we sometimes even go in search for…
Cherry, strawberry and rose liqueur jam
Once upon a time (aka last week) there were far too many cherries and strawberries in the fridge for our family to devour (no matter how devoted to the task we may have been) so I thought it would be a shame to let them go to waste. I love home made jam, but am…
What to sip this summer: Vin d’orange
Jam or cordial, this is pretty much what it boils down to when deciding what to do with bitter oranges. However, this year I wanted something a bit different. The cordial was just fine, in fact more-than-fine (it disappeared in record time), but I’m always on the lookout for new combinations to try. Enter David…
Flourless spelt semolina and strawberry cake
Fine dubrovačke gospođe (posh ladies from Dubrovnik) are well aware that a cake which is supposed to impress their guests should be one without flour. This is not part of the gluten-free trend, but rather a question of pride and style. I have to admit, this stance had rubbed off on me too and whenever…
Bitter Orange Cordial
If you’ve been following me on Instagram, you will have realized by now that I’m more of a plant than animal person. My windowsill is currently brimming with all kinds of succulents and similar plants able to withstand my rather random efforts at watering. I also have a shameful confession to make. Once, while I…
#nostyling series: Pan-fried prawns with garlic
I love food photography and I love food styling, the combination is one of the things that relaxes me the most, one of those in-the-zone activities that makes me forget all about time, gmail and to-do lists. At the moment I am able to do it only once a week – which is already a great…
People Make the City: Morana Depoli and Peruna Ceramics
On a recent trip to Finland, I couldn’t resist buying a book called Helsinki: People Make the City (I can rarely resist buying anything even remotely resembling a book). So inspirational. So full of insightful personal stories and accounts of businesses (many of them creative ones or those in the hospitality industry) sustainable in the…
Cooking with Dika: oven-baked sardines
Dika Marjanović Radica is a household name in Dalmatia. If you’re not sure about a dish, go check with Dika – the 450-page volume is bound to have some information on what you’re looking for. I cherish my copy: it is a 1977 hardcover edition which my grandma gave me about ten years ago. At…
Mindful in Dubrovnik
Mindfulness. A word that gets thrown around a lot these days. And for good reason, I believe. We seem to be everywhere, yet nowhere – both at the same time. Our phones are always ringing, or at least buzzing if we’re trying to be considerate of those around us. Our inboxes are constantly filling up…

Thursday was the last mega-cooking day for the cookbook - we had my husband’s friends over for dinner and that was a nice closure of that chapter. And these sweet goodies were hopefully a nice closure for their dinner 🖤 Now it’s time to start thinking about the book cover 😱
🇭🇷
U četvrtak je bilo zadnje maratonsko kuhanje za kuharicu - mužu došli prijatelji na večeru. To je bio baš lijep kraj toga poglavlja, a nadam se da su im ove gulozarije na stolu bile i lijep kraj večere 🖤 Sad treba početi misliti o naslovnici 😱

It’s been a long while since the two of us popped up on this feed. This one is from a couple of days ago, taken at the family lunch/photoshoot for the cookbook (I truly emphatize with my family & friends for having to put up with all my ideas). When she entered the living room and found a bunch of familiar faces there, she was beyond happy & I love seeing her like that 💜

Dugo vam nas dvije nismo mahnule ovako u tandemu pa ispravljamo propust 😊. Slika je od prije par dana, kad smo imali obiteljski ručak + snimanje za kuharicu (iskreno suosjećam sa svojom familijom i prijateljima što trpe sve moje ideje - i provedbu istih). Kad je Karmen ušla u stan i vidjela hrpu poznatih lica, sreći nije bilo kraja, a ni mojoj kad nju vidim tako oduševljenu 💜 #family #friends #familylunch #cookbook #cookbookwriting #pantarul #pantarulathome #cookbookphotoshoot #gatherings #gatheringslikethese #home #love #creativepreneur #mom #mybabygirl #preemie #26weeker #happiness #thatfeeling #everydaymagic #dowhatyoulovelovewhatyoudo #motherhood #booksaboutfood #crostagram #dubrovnik #croatia](http://scontent-frx5-1.cdninstagram.com/vp/8f78006a78536d02b8491b3662dbf81b/5CE3D2FE/t51.2885-15/e35/s320x320/51503837_160165514969518_5502777851059471125_n.jpg?_nc_ht=scontent-frx5-1.cdninstagram.com "[skrolaj ⬇️ za 🇭🇷]

I like myself a good challenge and I will write more about all the ways I've challenged myself while creating the Pantarul at Home cookbook, but one of the things that is certainly new is writing a book in two languages at the same time (there will be two separate books - one in English and another one in Croatian). While the English language is quite straightforward in its use of the words "teaspoon" and "tablespoon", Croatian usage of spoon-related words is unbelievably muddled and I have spent a lot of time thinking about how to make the book both precise and linguistically elegant at the same time. I still haven't reached a final decision, but at least that's one thing I don't have to worry about in English. ❓
Do you English-speaking guys know any Croatian words? Let me know in the comments! 🇭🇷 Ova je knjiga prilično izazovna u nekoliko apsekata, a jedan od njih je definitivno i pisanje dvije verzije knjige istodobno (bit će jedna hrvatska i jedna engleska verzija kuharice). I rekao bi čovjek da će na hrvatskom sve ići lakše, kad ono ćorak - još me more one žličice/jušne/čajne/male/velike žlice. Idealno bi bilo kad bi svi znali da je žličica = 5 ml, a žlica = 15 ml (što se naravno može naznačiti u uvodu knjige, ali to oni koji kuhaju u žurbi sigurno u tom trenutku neće čitati) i tako još nisam odlučila što da radim. Na Facebooku i u storyjima tu na Instagramu dali ste mi vrlo šarolike odgovore i ništa mi niste pomogli. Lajkajte sliku ako mislite da kompliciram, a lajkajte i ako razumijete moje muke. 🙈🖤🙈#NijeDoTebeDoMeneJe #NeodlucnaSamAMozdaINisam

Have you stocked up on vitamin C today? Don't ask me why, but it was only last week that I seriously started craving oranges. And ever since I saw @bealubas gorgeous blood orange cake, I've been after the ruby ones in particular. 🍊
Now it's OJ every morning and I think I'll keep the routine going until spring is here (seriously impatient about that!). What does your breakfast include most often? 🇭🇷 Jeste li danas napunili zalihe vitamina C? Ne pitajte me zašto, ali tek sam ovaj tjedan počela pravu narančomaniju (znam da jako kasnim). A otkad sam vidjela prekrasni kolač @bealubas sa crvenom naračnom, samo mi se te crvene slike motaju po glavi. 🍊
Sad cijelimo sok non-stop i mislim da ćemo tako i nastaviti sve dok proljeće sa sobom ne donese neke nove vitamine (#JedvaCekam). Što je kod vas ujutro pod mus?
