If you have ever traveled to the south of Croatia, you have probably came across the traditional sweet in this area – candied orange peel. Here, they are called Arancini. Personally, I am addicted to these treats.
Franks Cookbook
Basque and Croatian Recipes we cook at home. Quick, easy to make, and delicious recipes from Croatia, Basque Country, and beyond.
We love to cook, and while we aren’t great chefs by any means, the food we cook at home is simple, locally sourced, and tasty.
We also like to keep the preparation time below 30 minutes, because we want to eat well but we don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen.
We eat lots of veggies, fish, and seafood, and very little meat. We can eat eggs every day prepared in a thousand different ways. Although we love rice dishes, we try to eat them a little, usually once every two weeks. We can eat sweets three times a day, every day. But we don’t because we try to avoid sugars as much as possible! We aren’t great bakers, so you won’t find too many recipes for cakes and cookies. Except when we share some of our family’s recipes.
We love tapas-style diners! And more often than not, that’s how we organize our dinners at home. Small quantities of various dishes, rather than a large portion of one or two dishes.

Tomato Sauce: Frank’s Killer Recipe
My tomato sauce recipe is delicious. Tomato sauce is just a great base for so many other recipes. You can serve it as a pasta sauce, add it to your soups and stews, or make a fresh and tasty dip.
Zucchini fritters
Zucchini fritters are one of my favorite summer dishes. I've never used much of the zucchini in my kitchen, except for ratatouille once in a while. But since I moved to Croatia and discovered my mother-in-law cuisine, zucchini have become the part of my summer cookbook.
Patatas Bravas – French Fries Tapas Style
Patatas Bravas is a Spanish style French fries often served in tapas bars in Spain. It is one of the most popular tapas in Spain. Considered to be a social dish, patatas bravas are best enjoyed in the company of friends. There is a rule of eating patatas bravas: the one who eats the last potato from the plate, is the one who pays the bill.
