Mirko is from the island of Korcula and has been cooking for more than 20 years. He is a home cook but cooking is one of his greatest passions. He is a sailor by profession, but now retired, and is excited to share with those who are curious to try local cuisine, the traditional foods of the island. Mirko’s will be joined by his wife, Sasha, a certified guide in Croatia, who will share a lot of interesting things about their beautiful country, traditions, language, music, gastronomy and culture. As a sailor, Mirko has traveled the world all his life and has seen, tasted and learned a lot. While Sasha has immense knowledge on the history and culture of Croatia. Combining classic tastes with innovation twists, they are the perfect hosts for those who are curious to learn about Croatia through its food, local ingredients, heritage and culinary traditions.
Please note menu might vary. If there are particular dishes you are interested in trying, please include your request in the booking form.
In-home meal (1 - 5 guests) Mirko and Sasha would like to invite you into their sea view home for a multi-course meal on the island of Korcula. All the ingredients used for the meal are fresh and seasonal and most of the vegetables and herbs are grown in their backyard. Even the olive oil, liquors and wine are all homemade. Join Mirko and Sasha on their home terrace with beautiful views of the sea which looks toward the island of Hvar and Pelješac, to enjoy Klapa music and a home cooked Mediterranean meal. A few dishes that you might try are anchovy with capers in olive oil and wine-vinegar served with a caprese salad, pasta with homemade basil pesto or tomato salsa, sprinkled with parmesan and fresh gilt-head bream, that you can help Mirko grill – he will be sharing his secrets for good fish grilling which took him years to perfect. End you meal with dessert such as carrot cake or apple pie or tiramisu.
Notes: Mirko can accommodate lactose free, gluten free, vegetarian and vegan diets. So please inform him in advance while booking your Croatian homecooked meal online.
