    Croatian Recipes

    Croatian cuisine is a perfect symphony of soul-warming hearty dishes and a lighter, seafood-infused fare. 

    Ready to try some? May we suggest Stuffed Peppers or Stuffed Cabbage? How about a round of Seafood Risotto or Gnocchi in White Wine? 

    To top it off there are Balkan Lamingtons (Čupavci) and breathtaking Plum Dumplings (Knedle).
