Yugoslav cuisine and its recipes have much in common with the cuisines of other Balkan countries (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, Kosovo, Vojvodina and Slovenia) however, its culinary geography is very diverse. The cuisine of Serbia is somewhat reminiscent of Slavic — here they like dense, hearty, flavored with spices, in Dalmatia, on the contrary, they prefer light, unencumbered food.
In Bosnia, only mutton is recognized, in Vojvodina mainly pork, fish and flour products are loved on the Adriatic coast, and fish dishes — the works of chefs of the Ohrid coast are famous throughout the former Yugoslavia.
Slovenian cuisine is similar to Austrian cuisine in many ways, the influence of Hungarian cuisine is felt in Vojvodina, and the cuisine of Croats is something in between.
It is unlikely that tourists who have visited Yugoslavia have not tasted the famous chevapchichi there — a recipe for beef sausages baked on a grill. A lot of Yugoslavs consume various vegetables (tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, onions, garlic), olive oil, fish, lamb, beef, pork, poultry, fruits, melons, nuts, various fragrant herbs and spices.
Cheese is held in high esteem by the Yugoslavs: any meal begins with it, and kaymak is a duty dish in the kitchen of any hostess. Summarizing, we can safely say that Yugoslav cuisine is very interesting, peculiar and rightfully recognized by chefs around the globe.
