Cooking Croatia by Papica

Cooking Croatia by Papica is the first project in the capital that allows visitors to experience the customs and presentation at the table in Zagreb.

“Experience Zagreb with all your senses and have your lunch served on the early 20th-century dinnerware. Sounds tempting?”, ask the people behind the project which was created after gathering and sharing of recipes and conversations with small producers and family farms.

Authentic Zagreb home atmosphere

Cooking Croatia by Papica, founded by Željka Stošić, is not only aimed at tourists but for locals too.

Those signing up for Cooking Croatia by Papica will start the day with a walk around Dolac – the best open-air market in Zagreb, to buy some groceries with the help of Željka and enjoy a cup of coffee on špica.

Pick up some ingredients

After that, they are taken to the antiques fair in British Square (Britanac) and get started on cooking the authentic Zagreb lunch following grandmas’ recipes, making a toast with the finest, locally produced liquors and wines to accompany the food that they have prepared themselves.

“The best of all is that it’s all happening in the authentic old Zagreb home, filled with art work, providing a unique atmosphere,” says Stošić.

You will prepare your own authentic meal based on grandma’s recipes
