Origin of the recipes

In the title of the issue it is written ‘Simple meals loved by children in Serbia’ and not ‘traditional Serbian meals’.

The idea was to make a collection of recipes from that area that are loved by children that grew up there and to make others familiar with them. Finally, there is an open space for you to add a recipe of your pwn to prevent to be forgotten by the generations that come.
