Another simple Dalmatian soup for any time of the year

This is my all time favourite sauce. It reminds me of my grandmother who made it, my father who loved eating it, and then my mum who would then make it for our family here in Australia.

This dish is an investment in time. You can't leave it to make a phone call, you can't leave it to throw on a load of laundry, you can't leave it to watch five minutes of Bold and the Beautiful. You have to be there, stirring constantly, monitoring for when to add more water, and did I mention stirring constantly? But it's worth it

Forget the packet stuff, this is the original and the best, direct from Slavonia and my grandmother.

A wonderful winter recipe that the family will love

An Austro-Hungarian-inspired Croatian classic (and flourless)

Melt-in-your-mouth cauliflower in sour cream, perfect for serving as a side with your favourite roast

The classic Dalmatian Easter bread

The perfect recipe to use up that half-full bag of frozen peas, that last carrot at the bottom of the crisper drawer and that one leek you don't quite know what to do with.

Covid may have come and gone since I first made this recipe with 2020 but gnocchi are forever

Croatia's answer to garlic prawns

No tossing this salad. Just lay out the roasted peppers, top with the dressing and you're good to go

A great way to use up your extra crepes, or make the crepes especially for this dish

My mum's classic recipe

Taking days to prepare, this is the grand-dame of Dalmatian cooking and served for special occasions

Another recipe from the city of Split and a great way to get more fish into your diet

A dreamy pink showstopper with a thick layer of sponge, a layer of baked berry jam and topped with a layer of meringue.

Another Christmas (or anytime really) no-bake winner!

Don't ask me where the name comes from? Possibly the men (or women) of Rab island were getting around with whiskers and hence, how about we name a cookie after them? Whatever the case these little elliptical-shaped cookies are delicious! Slightly hard to the touch but chewy in the centre and chef's kiss to that chocolate drizzle.

Traditionally covered in a white icing glaze, these medenjaci will melt in your mouth with the taste of ginger and honey lingering. Unlike a traditional ginger snap, it wouldn't be a medenjac without the icing!
