It could just be a matter of statistics, but that would mean working only with concepts that can be illustrated in excel, and that's not the case. In recent years, the literature with and about gastronomy has left the confines of the niche field and outsourced its services to the multidisciplinary area. It's a good sign of the health and maturity of the market, […]
How to deal with the little beans. Tavče Gravče with ćevapčići, the Macedonian delicacy that out of ignorance ended up at the Bear Academy
North Macedonia is the land of statues and grills. For statues go to Skopje. More than a thousand statues adorn the capital of North Macedonia, most of them appeared through the "Skopje 2014" program launched in 2010, an investment of approximately 200 million euros (but which unofficially would reach one billion) supported by the Government and the authorities [...] ]
EURO 2024. In the fight with the little Belgians, they suddenly became ours and are no longer Turkish or Balkan
The great joy of this football championship is (with the exception of the victory with Ukraine), for me, the gastronomic battle between the supporters.

Originating in the mountainous regions of South America, especially in the area of present-day Peru and Ecuador, tomatoes were first cultivated by the ancient civilizations of Central and South America. The Aztecs (today's Mexico) and other Mesoamerican peoples […]
About Feteasca Regală and Luis Vuitton. The fact that Shakespeare is translated, published and read in our country does not make him Romanian
In an election week like this, two topics with a nationalist tone and that have nothing to do with the political speeches of the extremist parties hardly made room (even by chance). The ultra-nationalism promoted by such parties is only manipulative and easily digestible by masses of voters hungry for sensationalism and buckets of sugar and oil. If […]
Lucian Dragomir: Terente, rockers and braised cabbage at the fireplace (90'S – ANTHOLOGY OF GASTRONOMIC MEMORIES)
Much has been written about communism; probably not enough, but it was written.
