Book excerpt: John J. Goddard sheds light on the secret treasures of a little known Mediterranean cooking tradition and the proud people who keep it alive in Croatia's coastal region and hinterland. Featuring more than 300 time-honored ancestral recipes, descriptions of artisan food production, a listing of Adriatic fish species and historical background, Dalmatian Cooking is the first and only book of its kind in English, painstakingly translated from Croatian and its Dalmatian dialect.
