The Best of Croation CookingCanadianThe Best of Croation Cooking, Expanded Edition
Liliana Pavicic & Gordana Pirker-Mosher
This is the book on authentic Croatian cuisine, which is a lot more varied and interesting than many would suspect. Plenty of fish reflect its coastal location, and game dishes are familiar in the more wooded regions. The best recipes though are those for the many strudels, both sweet and savory. Desserts often reflect an Austrian influence in other ways too. There is also a guide to Croation regions, traditions, and a new section on the country's wine. 10% of all proceeds go to War Child Canada to support children in the former Yugoslavia. Sosftcover, 311 pp. $20.95.
