One Sunday my grandmother decided to make an apricot strudel instead of the classic cheese štrukli. Nothing strange in it when you have three apricot trees in your front yard. But on that particular Sunday everyone was on some sort of a diet, so small bits of the strudel were cut. The conversation was started, the pan stayed on the table and after an hour it was empty. So much for diet and character. It is therefore time to repeat this experience with the proven recipe for filo pastry. 🙂

Simplicity is the other name of this strudel. Squash in its most basic form with the addition of only sugar, semolina and cinnamon.

Less is more – an old saying goes. In this traditional recipe this goes without saying. A few good quality ingredients, simple preparation, and a meat meal is ready. With a mashed potato as a side dish, it makes for a complete meal. You can add a zest of spicy with chopped spring onions and roughly cut dry pepper.

Spring vegetables carrot, kohlrabi and peas united in a stew, thickened by some flour. This meal is easy to prepare, and also rich in colours.

On this plate we choose recognizable foods of Kvarner region and arrange it into unique combination of the flavor. From škripavac cheese to potato polenta, salted pilchards, olives and polenta bread.
