Dolores’ beach hit by hurricane speed bura wind

by Gogo 15.02.2012

There is a hidden cove in the South Istria, on the coast between Ližnjan and Šišan. Here, my good friend Dolores loves to take her kids for a summer splash. I filmed how the same spot looks like in February, on a really cold day when a 150 km/h bura blows.

[5th course] Poor man’s Cristmas Eve dinner: Fried bread with honey or confectioner’s sugar

by Gogo 24.12.2011

Kušine, koji su kod nas gotovo izumrli, gledani sa podsmijehom, znak nekih prošlih vremena, te iste kušine služe u profinjenom španjolskom restoranu kao njihov tradicionalni desert! I zato sam odlučio da bez srama zadnji slijed krizne predbožićne večere budu upravo ti naši, koliko i španjolski, kušini.

[4th course] Poor man’s Cristmas Eve dinner: Breaded corned beef and mortadella with fake cheese fondue

[3rd course] Poor man’s Cristmas Eve dinner: Pumpkin gnocchi with savoy cabbage

by Gogo 22.12.2011

This dish plays with contrasts between sweetness of pumpkin and bitterness of savoy cabbage, softness of gnocchi and crunchiness of the vegetables while visually it can fool the audience.

Drugi slijed naše krizne predbožićne večere biti će prežgana ili ajnpren juha, zaboravljeno i često puta prezreno jelo jer simbolizira neimaštinu koja je nekoć vladala Istrom.
