Book: "A Taste of Croatia" by
Karen Evenden
Time: Monday, January 5,
6:30PM
Location: Carrolton
A Taste of Croatia is both a travel memoir and an easy-to-use cookbook.
Most of the recipes have been savored by generations of Croatians and
all of the recipes have been adapted for use in American kitchens.
Throughout the book, I've indulged in sharing some of our favorite
memories and experiences via a series of short essays and brief
anecdotes that grew out of our more than three years of sailing the
Adriatic coast. I hope this combination of stories, facts and recipes
will provide each reader with their own 'taste of Croatia." Please
bring a recipe from the book to share! And of course, something to
drink is always appreciated!
