Croatia

My new cookbook, Bon App & Tito, is coming out in France on May 15th!

Time to taste the Dingač wines I’ve been writing about. In this blind tasting of eight reds from the Pelješac Peninsula, the winners may not be the ones you expect!

Join me on my visits to three of the most famous wineries on the Pelješac Peninsula: Korta Katarina, Grgić, and Matuško.

The Pelješac Peninsula, the Plavac Mali grape varietal, and the Dingač micro-region. Plus a few wineries.

Inspired by a dish from Boškinac restaurant on Pag Island, this recipe features diverse lamb preparations: a roasted lamb chop, fried meatballs, and stewed shoulder.

Inspired by a mussel dish I ate at Pelegrini restaurant in Šibenik, a salad of mussels, capers, red peppers, potatoes and chives on top of a mussel, corn, and saffron mousse.

My first recipe featuring octopus, inspired by a dish from Dubrovnik’s Restaurant 360.

Korčula is famous for its sweets, especially its cookies with citrus zest and nuts. Klašuni bring together all the authentic insular flavors.

Located right on Dubrovnik’s town walls, Restaurant 360 offers classic Dalmatian flavors with modern techniques.

A whole fish like those so often served on the Dalmatian coast, with a tasty and colorful accompaniment.
