Sarajevo has been a crossroad of east
and west for centuries. Many cultures
interweaved and each one left marks
of its period. Habits and tastes have
been changed and adjusted through
centuries. These changes were also
present in Sarajevan kitchen. It shouldn't
wonder us if we find in the kitchen
Austrian,Hungarian, Turkish, Italian or
some other influence. Sarajevo has been founding its specific taste in culinary art for centuries, which cannot be found
everywhere.Recipes were mainly passed on beyond of mouth from generation to generation. Many of these are forgotten. Food industry also caught this part of the world, but good domestic kitchen was preserved in majority Sarajevan homes up to now. There are some characteristic meals in Sarajevo, where you can eat bey's soup, „paće“, „sogan dolma“, „sarma“, kebabs, grilled meat patty, sausages, different kind of pies (with meat, cheese and spinach),
traditional cakes („baklava“, „ruzice“, „kadaif“, „tufahije“, etc.) and many other meals. All Sarajevo, for which tourists
return again.
