In Croatia, each morning begins with a burek, a traditional Bosnian phyllo pastry, tightly rolled and filled with spinach and cheese, similar in consistency to ricotta. They are also served with just cheese or meat filing, but I prefer the spinach.

This bowl of creamy cheesy risotto is the ultimate indulgence. I never pass up the opportunity to eat risotto. Rice on its own is pretty good, but when you cook it in a savory broth with butter and shallots and then finish it with cheese and roasted
