So what is Serbian/Balkan Cuisine

So...what exactly is Serbian cuisine? Well, a plentitude of cabbage, a plethora of paprika and an extravagant amount of eggplant. I know, very acidic, but it should be mentioned Eva makes me incredible tonics of sage, chamomile and other plant-based redeemers that grow in the fertile mountains here. Again, quite restorative! 

Iva: 

"Everybody's mother has a different taste but the sarma, kupus and podvrak are the main dishes. So, some dishes are the same, it depends on the mixture of what taste is, how close the country neighbors places like Hungary, Italy and Greece. Since Serbia was once invaded by Turkey a lot of the dishes originated from middle eastern food. But the thing that Serbians use in the kitchen is that they grow free, healthy and in abundance such as garlic, onion, paprika and other vegetables. Paprika is the most delicious...I don't know..."

Serbian Lamb

If you know me, you know I'm a conscious omnivore. Which basically means I could go my entire life without eating cow, chicken, pork (never did anyway) however, there is one meat source that I constantly crave and can't seem to shake it, even when I go months as a vegan. And that is my beloved lamb. I am a lamb connoisseur and since living in Southeast Europe learned that, at some butchers, you can't even buy lamb without buying the head, which is a delicious delicacy that Eva makes delightfully. Here however is a more common lamb dish, a scrumptious leg. We called it baby because it was so fresh from the mountains, it still had a little hair on its hind leg. Lovely.
