Mekice
To have a fried dough for breakfast… After a teaspoon of slatko and a cup of coffee. In Sumrakovac village. Love it! The dough is called mekice, or mekike more often, and slatko is a type of fruit preserve that in Serbia we usually offer to the house guests as soon as they enter the...
Another Visit to Sumrakovac
There is a village in Eastern Serbia where I always love to come back. It’s a village where Mrs. Ljubinka writes poetry and a home of her daughter, Gaga, my great friend. Village is Sumrakovac, and I visit every year. Last time I wrote how Gaga’s mom is a great cook and how happy I...
Apple and Raisins Muffins
You need something like this on a lazy Sunday. Muffins – because they’re simple, cinnamon – because it will warm you up and apples – ’cause everything will be juicier with them. And if you go to the country side, you can sit in front of your fireplace and enjoy these beauties with a cup...
Mézes Krémes
Mézes Krémes is a wonderful Hungarian dessert with semolina cream and apricot jam. To me, it kind of reminds of a white pie or a honey pie, but still, it is beautiful in it’s own way. The biscuits can be tricky with this type of dessert, but once you master it – you will be...

Red Currant Trifle
We picked our four shrubs of red currants almost a month ago. And some yet not ripe berries were left on the bottom of the shrubs for later. When I picked them recently, there wasn’t enough for the proper desert, so I improvised. I combined the ingredients I had at home and made a desert...

Kavarma Kebab
I already wrote about my friend Gaga. Whenever we visit each other, we cook. Last time, when I went to her village Sumrakovac, we prepared some Serbian food. This time, she visited me, and we made a Bulgarian dish from her blog – Kavarma kebab. Recipe comes from a cookbook written by a famous Serbian...
Radicchio Pork Rolls
There are some ingredients that people just don’t like. For example radicchio. You can have it in small amounts in a salad, but a salad with only radicchio in it just won’t do. At least not for me. I was attracted to this recipe by it’s look and had to make it. During preparation, I...

I wanna tell you about a new food bloggers from Serbia project. One day, over a cup of coffee, when a couple of us met, we realized that there is an initiative and will for a joint project. The idea has been cooking for a while but that day it was clear we could do...
