I was really excited when I ordered this cookbook. I couldn't wait to surprise my boyfriend and his brother with some 'home cooked Bosnian food'. I looked through the many recipes and only recognized the cabbage rolls and the meat pies. So,.. I'm not Bosnian or Croatian, or even Yugoslavian at all. But NO ONE I showed the recipe book to heard of ANY of the recipes in there!! They actually laughed at them,... I was sooo bummed! I'm not saying that the recipes are not authentic, because I don't know. If they are, they're probably just not 'typical' Bosnian recipes, or something. Maybe just Croatian? Any way, I was just a bit disappointed because I REALLY wanted to cook something for my boyfriend and I couldn't because he didn't know what the recipes were either. Easy enough to read, metric measurements,.. just not at all what I expected. Still, some interesting and tasty sounding recipes.

I was very happy when I found this book on Amazon. I grow up in Bosnia, lived in Croatia and we always cook this kind of food in our house. I was hoping to find some forgiven recipes. Most of the meal I never heard of and I wonder where these recipes are coming from.
I would not recommend this cookbook (I'm not sure what will I do with mine).

Just what I was looking for. Nothing fancy, just good meals for the family. Amazon had it at the right price, one click and it's at my door. Couldn't be better then that.

This book has clear, easy-to-follow recipes that make one of the world' great cuisines accessible. yum, yum, yum!

Enjoyed preparing some of Croatian dishes.
Tried Bosnian meat finger rolls. You should try it, too.
