Greek sweets and Croatian corn
|
|
Explore stories of food from the social media strand of our Online Creative Residency!
Corn is a plant that has always been used in Croatia for various purposes - economic, in the household and in food. One of the unique recipes of central Croatia was created precisely on corn, and it is called jagli.
Greek spoon sweets, or glyka tou koutaliou, are a sweet close to jams and marmalades, a technique originally used to preserve the fruits. These traditional sweets reflect care, hospitality and the culinary craftsmanship of women across generations.

Hunger, gingerbread, beer and red sauce
|
|
Explore the stories from our Online Creative Residency writing group!
‘Gingerbread - the art of resilience’ examines the history of the Beliczay family's gingerbread and wax casting workshop. ‘The beer god’ imagines a fictional scene where a new beer god stands before a jury of deities, asking to join their pantheon. ‘The bread of memory’ reflects on wartime hunger, using excerpts from the poems of Yiannis Ritsos. And 'Return to the Sauce' explores Corfu’s bourdeto - a paprika-bright fish stew - as a lens on memory, community identity and place. |
