Croatia

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.
