#231 Cooking up The Balkan Kitchen with Irina Janakievska

Support at patreon.com/belgrade i paypal.me/sgarcevic The Balkan Kitchen is the first comprehensive cook book in English with recipes (and stories) from the Balkans. The author is Irina Janakievska, a British-Macedonian corporate lawyer, whose passion for the subject and more than a decade long work earned her accolades from the likes of Nigella Lawson and many others. We spoke about what makes the Balkan cuisine unique, whether it will take over the world, her path from LSE History and IR degrees to culinary writing and our grandmothers.
