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…
Notes from a Dubrovnik Kitchen
![[skrolaj za hrvatski]
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?
