Serbian Soul Food

If you know me personally or if you've attended one of my talks, you know I'm half Serbian. (My dad was born in Serbia.)

You also know I'm very proud of that half.

I had an extremely happy childhood growing up on delicious Serbian food...and it's still my all-time favorite comfort food. In fact, I'll take roasted pig, ćevapčići, sarma, kačamak, popara, kajmak, kiselo mleko, gibanica, and krofne over pasta any day. Not kidding. At all.

It's really sad, though, that very few people know anything about Serbian cuisine. Can't say that I blame them. But I'd like to change that if I could.

My brother sent me a link to the following video. It's beautifully done and is a moving testament to real, authentic Serbian food. Whether you're truly interested or just plain curious, I invite you to watch (by clicking on the arrow in the center of the photo below) -- and enjoy your armchair journey through Serbia and all the wonderful delicacies this special country has to offer!

I would love a recipe. I looked some up on line but nothing jumped out to me. Your recommendation would be great.
