Nestled in the heart of the Mediterranean on the edge of the dazzling Adriatic is one of Europe's best-kept secrets – the spectacular Dalmatian coastline of Croatia. A region defined by the sea, rambling vineyards and olive groves, it is home to some of the country's most treasured dishes whose flavours are reminiscent of Greek and Italian food, but with an identity of their own.
The cuisine of Dalmatia has a unique story to tell. Its simple, honest food has evolved from the region's rich history and many cultural influences. At its core, it is frugal but inventive, with interesting flavours and ingredients, such as silverbeet, prosek (Dalmatian fortified wine) and varenik (grape molasses). Ino Kuvacic captures the charm of his beloved native home and celebrates the food traditions, hospitality and signature purity of this magical place.
