In the time of our grandmothers food was not as available, and choices were not as diverse as today. Especially in the winter months. That’s why people found ways and passed on the knowledge of preserving food for longer periods of time.
Turkey with mlinci is a classic dish of the continental Croatian cuisine. In this recipe we added it with a bit of autumn twist. Chestnut in classic potato croquettes with added braised apples and pears. A phantasy of flavours. 🙂
During the summer and autumn we have hosted some world travellers from the USA, Mexico, Canada, Australia and Philippines, who wanted to taste the flavours of Croatian cuisine in the way to prepare food themselves.
An old Croatian folk song says: “My mother baked štrukli, but she did not tell me about it”. But not to worry, we will tell you about štrukli (Authentic cheese strudel from Zagorje region), how to prepare them and how to bake them. And we will also let you know on a little secret how you can make the sweet version of it, with bread crumbs and sugar. In any case – it is an evergreen.
