Last updated · PDF edition v2026.09.21

The expanded edition of Konoba & Kafana — 68 pages across seven Western Balkan countries: Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Albania and Kosovo. Thirteen kitchen-tested recipes, from ajvar and ćevapi to tavče gravče, tavë kosi, flija and tufahije. Read a menu and tell a konoba from a kafana; understand what your bill should show country by country, with the receipt and consumer rules set out separately for each one rather than as a single regional rule; know which names are actually protected and which are simply familiar; shop a market with confidence. Five one-page quick-reference cards and 39 sourced endnotes. No restaurant listings, no maps.
