Welcome to another Flavors and Knowledge Podcast episode hosted by Chef Walter Potenza. Today, we’re embarking on a culinary journey through the Balkan Peninsula, a region rich in history, culture, and delicious food. The Balkans, encompassing countries like Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, and Slovenia offer a diverse and flavorful cuisine influenced by centuries of cultural exchange.
Historical Connections: The cuisine of the Balkans is a melting pot of influences from various empires and cultures that have ruled or interacted with the region. The Ottoman Empire, which controlled much of the Balkans for centuries, significantly impacted local food. Many dishes contain traces of Turkish, Greek, and Middle Eastern flavors.
