Of culinary habits and experimenting with pumpkin

by Clem 01.12.2011

When we cooked together at the beginning of our relationship, my husband would make fun of my habit of leaving the wooden stirring spoon in the dish while it cooked, asking jokingly if that was the special ingredient that would make it really good.

True blood

by anita 22.11.2011

A week ago I have seen excellent horror movie Stake Land, on the road saga through apocalyptic landscapes of America devastated by vampire epidemic.

A magic drugstore in Trieste // Magična drogerija u Trstu

by Gogo 15.11.2011

Morske spužve, prastari ronilački safander, četke, metle, klupko špaga… Sve to se nalazi u čudnovatom izlogu na Piazza San Giovanni u Trstu, na korak od Illyjevog kafića iza crkve San Antonio. Izlog služi da privuče slučajnog prolaznika da uđe u trgovinu. Ali ovo nije izlog, ovo je, u nedostatku boljeg izraza, anti-izlog.

2002 Meneghetti Brut: Arguably the best Croatian sparkling wine

by Gogo 03.11.2011

With a very high probability, I can state that this is the best sparkling wine in whole Croatia, at least to me. It is relatively expensive (magnum is over 80 euros), but such tasty bubbles are not around every corner.

Sapori in cantina 2011: Six-course food & wine pairing on the roads of Collio

by Gogo 27.10.2011

[SLIDESHOW] Our neighbors from Friuli invented a food & wine event from a fairy tale. Imagine a six-course Sunday lunch but every course is served in another winery. [SLIDESHOW] Naši susjedi Friulani smislili su enogastronomski događaj kao iz bajke. Nedjeljni ručak od šest slijedova ali svaki od njih jede se u drugom vinskom podrumu.

Of cultural differences…

by Clem 19.10.2011

As autumn has definitely arrived and olives have already been picked, I would like to pay a tribute to the Croatian summer drink, gemišt, to the Croatian olive oil, and to some cultural differences between France and Croatia. Olive trees in autumn below Učka mountain

Sex-appeal and beauty of autumn food

by Gogo 14.10.2011

Yesterday I enjoyed sooo much the dinner at Cesare’s place, my good old friend from Mantua. Look inside how beautiful, very seasonal, local and even sexy everything was. This pic wouldn’t be possible without inspiration of Jelena, amazing food designer, photographer and cook, from amazing blog Sjedi i jedi! Jučer sam naprosto uživao u večeri [...]
