A Taste of Croatia
Karen EvendenKaren Evenden and her husband spent more than 6 years sailing in the Mediterranean, visiting and exploring the enticing coastlines of multiple countries. Three years into their adventure, they discovered Croatia, formerly a part of Yugoslavia. They were impressed by the beauty of the Adriatic coast, the people and the food of this country which has been struggling since the war to regain tourism and to rebuild its economy.
A Taste of Croatia is both a travel memoir and an easy-to-use cookbook. Most of the dishes have been savored by generations of Croatians and all of the recipes have been adapted for use in American kitchens.
Croatia is a land of good cooks who consistently manage to work culinary magic with limited ingredients and tight budgets. In that land, Karen learned that the tastiest food is made from scratch with ingredients that are seasonal and fresh. These are principles that she now applies to her own farm in Ojai where she and her husband grow lavender and Ojai Pixie tangerines, olives and walnuts.
