Gastronomic corner

The Croatian gastronomy, at the coast and on the islands, has grown on the tradition of natural and healthy Mediterranean nourishment, based on vegetables, with the addition of olive oil, fish, and shells and other sea food, goat and sheep cheese, and among the fruits, on marascue, grapes, figs and almonds. The specialty of our cooking is the way of preparing the food, and the doctors consider it as very healthy. However, the vegetables are being cooked in a small amount of water, and are spiced with olive oil, and other herbs such as rosemary, sage, basil, marjoram. The fish is being prepared in special sauces made of vegetables and spices, or is being grilled, and the meat baked in special ovens, in a special manner - the food is being put into a metal dish, and is covered with very hot ashes and flames; it gets a very excellent flavor. As starting courses, different cheeses are being served - smoked cheese, immature cheeses, cheese from oil, especially with ham and oils. Although for desert is recommended fruits - dried or fresh, cakes are also made with addition of different kinds of fruits and nuts.
