Traditional Pastries from Vincek, Zagreb

Whenever we visit a new town or country we do make an effort to try their local foods and luckily for us Zagreb has quite a few cakes and pastries listed on their traditional food list. A sign we had to try some sweet treats. We made our way to Vince’s, a family owned cake and pastry shop that has been operating for over forty years. With so much on offer it was hard to decide what to try but we made sure to order a kremšnita, one of the most typical Croatian sweets.

This is how pastry chef Đuro Lukačić imagined it in his recipe from the 1920s.Leggi altro
