Les saveurs de l’Avent à Zagreb

Stuffed turkey with mlinci

Here comes the turkey! The turkey is a must, especially with homemade mlinci. A classic that never goes out of fashion and one that is prepared at least several times a year for holidays that the people of Zagreb love so much. What makes it a classic? The excellent taste, of course! Zagreb-style turkey is practically a symbol of the holidays. Find a place for it on your table too.

Paprenjaci – peppery gingerbread cookies

Named after pepper, a spice that was very expensive and rare in the past, paprenjaci are an indigenous Croatian as well as Zagreb pastry, as described by August Šenoa in his renowned novel "Zlatarevo zlato". Today, paprenjaci have become of the most well-known tourist souvenirs of Zagreb, with numerous guests from all over the world taking them home as a pleasant and tasty memento of Zagreb.

Vanilin kiflice – vanilla half-moons

Isn't it about time that you surprised all of the neighbours who have, for years, been brining you vanilla half-moons for the holidays? That's right – bake some yourself! It is very simple and Christmas just would not be the same without them. Plus, there will come a time when the neighbour with the half-moons will no longer be around and you might be the one that will have to take up the role of "moon-dealer".

Sarma with mashed potatoes – sour cabbage rolls stuffed with minced meat

Nothing can quite conjure the image of sarma like the lyrics of the band Hladno pivo: Out of all food, I like sarma the most, no other grub can come close. Minced meat that is rolled tight, in leaves of cabbage, it's a delight. ... As long as it's cold outside, sarma will keep you warm.

Makovnjača – yeast dough poppy seed roll

What to say about the pastry that pretty much everyone in Zagreb tasted? Your elders may have baked it, or maybe your neighbours. Whichever way, it is a part of our tradition. A tasty crisp dough with a sweet poppy stuffing is ideal to have for dessert, and maybe even better for dipping in a glass of warm milk in the morning.

Nigdje u Europi nismo vidjeli bogatiji, ljepši, organiziraniji, ... Advent!!!

Obišli smo brojne gradove Europe u zadnjih mjesesc i pol dana, i NIGDJE nismo vidjeli bogatiji, ljepši, organiziraniji, ... Advent!!! To me kao Hrvaticu silno veseli, osobito jer se u Zagrebu ponovo osjeća njegova tradicionalna kultura, ukus, sofisticiranost i bogatstvo duhovnim vrijednostima. Vrijedno divljenja i nas domaćih, a pogotovo turista.

Undoubtedly the experience of a lifetime!!!

I would highly recommend the city of Zagreb, Croatia to any and all tourists who truly wish to experience the true spirit and energy of the Advent Season. It is an experience which any guests/tourists will never forget.
