Step into history with Zagreb's enchanting gas lanterns! First lit on October 31, 1863, these iconic lamps are unlike any others in the world, thanks to dedicated lamplighters who still light them by hand each evening and extinguish them at dawn.

In the winter, these 246 lanterns start glowing around 2 p.m., casting their magic until 7 a.m., while in summer they brighten the streets from 6 p.m. to 5 a.m. Once numbering nearly 2,000 across the city, only the lamps in the Upper Town, Kaptol, and Opatovina remain, preserved as cultural heritage since the 1990s.

Catch a glimpse of tradition, romance, and old-world charm every night in the heart of Zagreb!

Krafi, a true gem from the eastern coast of Istria! These delicate, crescent-shaped pastries are filled with a unique blend of semi-hard cheese, eggs, raisins, a hint of sugar, vanilla, and breadcrumbs. Perfect on their own or as a side to a rich chicken stew, they’re an unforgettable taste experience. Pure indulgence!

Happy International Tie Day! Did you know the tie originated in Croatia? 🇭🇷 Back in the 17th century, when soldiers went off to war, their loved ones would tie scarves around their necks as a reminder to stay close to their hearts. 💕

Today, statues of iconic historical figures in Zagreb are dressed up with ties, celebrating this timeless fashion accessory that’s now a staple in men’s style worldwide. 👔

Food has a special way of bringing people together, and štrukli are the perfect example—especially in the fall when we all crave something warm and comforting. There’s no better way to experience the heart of a place than through its local dishes. I’m so glad that my guests from Nevada and Michigan, USA, loved this classic Croatian comfort food, a dish that stirs up nostalgia while creating new memories.

Zagreb families take great pride in their family recipes, carefully passing them down through generations. One such recipe is this semolina pie with a shortcrust pastry. Unlike most pies, where the dough is rolled out, in this one, the dough is grated, resulting in a delightful crispiness after baking. It's a perfect choice for Sunday lunch, and today, my guests from Melbourne had the pleasure of preparing it.

Today, I had the pleasure of hosting four guys from Malta who prepared štrukli and savored the authentic flavors of traditional Croatian cuisine. Big compliments to them — they did an outstanding job!

Today we fired up the stoves, rolled up our sleeves, and with guests from Maine, USA, prepared a six-course lunch featuring dishes from the Zagreb region and Dalmatia – Chicken soup, Samobor-style pork chops with mashed potatoes and green beans topped with buttered breadcrumbs, Black cuttlefish risotto, Fish stew with polenta, Apple fritters, and Dalmatian fritters with young cheese and raisins. All beautifully paired with indigenous Croatian wine.

It’s always a joy to share the rich history of Zagreb’s squares and streets, paired with the flavors of traditional Croatian cuisine and authentic wines. Today, I had the pleasure of hosting a group of young professionals from Switzerland who chose Croatia as the perfect destination for their teambuilding experience!

At an outdoor temperature of 36°C, we're cooking up a storm! A delightful culinary gathering with young ladies from Montreal, Canada. We prepared Dalmatian black cuttlefish risotto, Istrian chicken stew with fuži, and a seasonal plum strudel from the continental Croatia. Join us and savor the flavors of traditional Croatian cuisine!

Every Croatian island has its own *smokvenjak*, a traditional treat made from dried figs and schnapps (lozovača). After being carefully dried for up to 15 days, wrapped in bay leaves and rosemary sprigs, it’s ready to be enjoyed. Once the "energy bars" for hard-working laborers in the fields and vineyards, smokvenjak is now a beloved Christmas delicacy. Sliced into thin pieces, it’s perfect for sharing over a cozy chat with a small glass of rakija (schnapps) like lozovača and travarica, or prošek (Dalmatian dessert wine). 🍷

Extrely grateful for the article in the Zajedničar (Fraternalist) newspaper from the Croatian Fraternal Union of America in Pittsburgh.
Many thanks to Lorraine Turkall, the editor, for the wonderful write-up of my cooking class, where she prepared štrukli with her colleagues during her recent visit to Zagreb.

During tomato season, indulge in a true island delicacy: a savory pie (in Croatian: Komiška pogača) filled with tomatoes, onions, and salted anchovies, straight from the town of Komiža on the island of Vis. Pair it with a glass of homemade red wine for the perfect experience. 🌞🍅🍷

Stretching, rolling, and shaping are the most crucial steps in preparing štrukli. Enjoy them filled with creamy cheese or a fresh blend of cottage cheese and spinach. Paired with traditional charcuterie and indigenous Croatian wines, this experience will completely indulge your taste buds. Join us and savor the best of Croatian cuisine!

For centuries, Croatian islands have been crafting desserts from local ingredients like almonds, olive oil, oranges, lemons, honey, and rosemary. Cres, our largest island, is no exception. Here, local hands skillfully create delights such as Rosemary Cookies (Ružmarinčić), Kacotine, and the Captain's Cake. 🌿🍯🍊

From my granny's notes to my favorite childhood cake - Mazanica with chocolate. It's a process of repeating until you finally get the right flavor.

130 years ago The Zagreb Funicular (Croatian: Zagrebačka uspinjača) started to operate on April 23rd, 1893. It connects Downtown with the Upper town (Gradec). Its 66-meters (217 ft) track makes it one of the shortest public-transport funiculars in the world. While you are in Zagreb don't miss the ride which lasts only 66 seconds. #ZagrebGourmet #zagreb #croatia #funicular
