A collection of 31 simple, Mediterranean inspired recipes to bring the slow pace of this side of the world to wherever you are.

Defined as: A relaxed state of body, mind, spirit, and heart.
Fjaka means slowing down the pace of life, delighting in the present moment, and living in the here and now.
Sometimes it can even be compared to meditation or a state of weightlessness, giving great happiness and contentment.

In Croatia, Fjaka is the attitude that life should be simple, so that we have more time to enjoy it.
And a big part of life in Croatia and all over the Mediterranean is the food.
The table is the heart of family, community and friendship, and food is never just food.
It’s connection, nostalgia and most importantly, an opportunity to be present.
