SERBIAN CUSINE – Olivera Grbić
SERBIAN CUSINE: ALL TRADITIONAL PLATES
Serbian Cookbook in English Language
Since ancient times, mores and amenities have played an important role in preserving the identity of a people. Most of the Serbian population in the Middle Ages were sebri – farmers with a rich tradition, and all the richness of Serbian cuisine is derived from its geographic, ethnic and cultural diversity, which result from centuries of population mixing. Through the preserved Serbian cuisine recipes, the reader will get to know some ethnic motifs, and only a small part of huge Serbian natural resources. Today we witness many examples of the adjustment of tradition to a completely different, modern way of life. However, the old values and respect for nature have never been entirely suppressed in Serbia.
Običaji su još od davnih vremena imali važnu ulogu u očuvanju identiteta naroda. Veći deo stanovništva Srbije u srednjem veku bili su sebri – seljaci, bogate tradicije, a
bogatstvo srpske kuhinje potiče od njene geografske, nacionalne i kulturne raznolikosti, nastale vekovnim mešanjem stanovništva. Kroz sačuvane recepte srpske kuhinje prikazani su etno-motivi i tek mali deo prirode kojom je Srbija itekako bogata. U današnje vreme mnoštvo je primera prilagođavanja običaja drugačijem načinu života.
Ipak, stare vrednosti i poštovanje prirode u Srbiji nikada nisu bili u potpunosti potisnuti.
