A kitchen that remembers
Agram is the old name for Zagreb, and Agram cooking is what the city ate when cooking took time: Viennese influence, a Zagorje garden and city thrift in one pot.
The book records these recipes the way they travelled, from grandmother to granddaughter, with illustrations of the kitchens, cupboards and people who kept them.
Faces and cupboards
The book comes with a set of illustrations: townspeople, market women and the objects an old kitchen cannot do without.
