Croatian cookbook in English nominated for the Gourmand World Cookbook Award

Andrea Pisac with her Croatian Classics cookbook which is up for a prestigious award

‘Croatian Classics: 100 savoury dishes to delight your family and friends’, a cookbook by Andrea Pisac, has been nominated for the prestigious Gourmand World Cookbook Award. 

The award was established in 1995 and has since honoured and promoted best food and wine books published worldwide. 

The Gourmand Award is for a cookbook what an Oscar is for a film. This is an important recognition for individual books but also for a food culture in various countries around the world. 

‘I am incredibly honoured to be nominated for this outstanding award. Croatian Classics is a true labour of love. It took two years to research, cook, write and photograph. What gives me most pleasure is that this recognition puts Croatian food and culture of eating on the world map of cuisines – something that has been due for a long time,’ Andrea Pisac told us.
