"We are making baka happy"! To je najljepše što se moglo čuti! Djeca koja odrastaju s djedom i bakom su bogata djeca, a bome i baka i djed isto tako!

[@mariovk22]

Svaka cast baki. To je lijepo sto djeci daje da joj pomognu. Sudjelovati u necemu se pamti. Kod vecine bi djeca bila na mobitelu, a baka sama kuha.

[@lavina58]

Kako djeca vole sudjelovati i pomagati baki 😊😊🙌🙌. Imaju predivno djetinjstvo 💞

Raštika - makes me miss my Hercegovina. Greetings from a Hercegovka in Dalmatia ❤

[@chelseasummers2365]

I love the fact that your kiddos get to spend so much time with Baka and Dida . They are memories that will last a lifetime and it’s good that they learn alongside Baka how she cooks.

Ništa ljepše od obitelji na okupu i sloge. Dobar tek!

[@mitsa1]

Good ol RAŠTIKA on a cold winter day!! Love the smoke dried ribs as well.......yummmm🤤

[@mladenpavlekovic8768]

Lako baki kad ima toliko mladih pomagača, hehe, lijep pozdrav za cijelu porodicu

[@Lily-cv1ds]

Pozdrav beautiful family awesome video.👍🙏🍁❤️

[@snappycattimesten]

Peasant food is the best food. Baba’s soupa on a cold day was always welcome.

[@nikomangelmann6054]

40°c inside and a hot meal sounds like a sauna vist and lunch at the same time to me (or visiting my grandparents for lunch when i was a child)

[@jaskobut9335]

We also have Raštika growing in our garden in Zagreb, like baka said it is such a low maintanace plant to grow. Also she has given us a few tips in preparing this meal. 👩‍🍳

[@jmpopov]

This reminded me of “helping” my grandmother in her kitchen when I was malo 🥲

[@lisabrkich8753]

Wow hvala ti bako na divnoj večeri. Your kids are super cute!!! Amazing channel. Dolazimo na večeru sljedeći tjedan!!

[@Jurenic]

What a beautiful family! Such a cosy get-together

[@angeladobromislic9521]

Neka vam je sa blagoslovom dobar tek.❤

[@katarinadragic263]

Prekrasna obitelj! ❤

[@jeanfis]

Theese memories are priceless. ❤

[@janvanhoyk8375]

I cannot help but think this is similar to how my grandmother grew up as a child of a croat and an american in USA a long time ago, or similar to her father as a child in USA but whose parents immigrated a year before he was born. I am so happy that Croatia even with all its problems it currently has, finally has had a chance to be independent, stable, safe, and for its people to just live; not have to go abroad for work (at least as much as before) etc. I also love to see large happy families in a country experiencing population decline. Terrific video!

[@HladniSjeverniVjetar]

In the last 10 or so years almost 450 000 Croats emigrated, we went from 4.5 mil to 3.7 .....Not sure what reality you might be living in... most of us that went out are in Ireland or Germany today....I am in Netherlands...we got the old unsolved issue of bureaucratic capture that remained since communist era. Same as centers of power...and that creates a magic circle...ruling party gives jobs to party people in government agencies...they vote them in...rinse, repeat.

[@manuelapereira6692]

So cute the grandkids spending time and helping with the grandparents ❤

[@azredd77]

❤❤❤ thank you

[@charlieranger4598]

Those videos make me terribly peckish...no...I'm starving when watching them!!! Delicious! It's always great to watch how the whole family, especially the kids participate in making the dishes! That's super-duper great and fun to watch! 👍

[@RoyalCroatianTours]

The next couple vids coming up are also food-related! :) So have a bite to eat beforehand! 😆

[@charlieranger4598]

I should do that actually. That's a good piece of advice. 😊 @@RoyalCroatianTours

[@novifosili176]

Divna obitelj 🙏

[@lydiamilanovic1761]

I could almost smell the deliciousness of that meal!!😋😋

[@deanaspinut7247]

Volim raštiku a mnogi kažu da im je gorka. Meni super. Pozdrav.

[@grgomatana4470]

Rastika is the ultimate superfood.

[@willi19391]

Those temperature comments were epic. 😆🫠

I’ll take a Baka star over a Michelin Star any day

[@anamarijasolje9052]

Kao splicanka dalmatinka potvrđujem a posebno muz iz dalm. zagore. 🎉🎉🎉 Thumb up for raštika

[@powderskier5547]

Rastika a popular dish in the Croat regions of Hercegovina, had plenty of it as a kid but definately dont miss it :)

[@user-np5nq4vv5d]

respect

[@matijamosunic7853]

I never heard of raštika! My family is from an island in Kvarner/N. Dalmatia and we have blitva (swiss chard) that we prepare similarly without the meat or juha. It's so interesting to learn about mainstay Croatian recipes from other areas of the country!! Hvala!! 😃

[@beppogiglio]

I do not understand.... raštika has always been grown and eaten on the northern Croatian coast, / hrvatsko primorje/ / Novi Vinodolski, Bribir, Crikvenica.... the hinterland...../ in Istria as well, the food that fed Istria in the winter - only in Istria they call it broskva, and people from the Barban area are also mockingly called broskvari.... I do not believe that it was not grown on the Kvarner islands PS. In Italy / Venice/ was and is called cavolo nero

[@Arazhul12]

Everybody loves sarma❤

[@samkitty5894]

I loooove Raštika. I cut it up and boil it. In the same water I'll boil few eggs, and some smoked pork. Then I drain it all. I serve it covered in olive oil, salt, pepper, red wine vinegar, and some garlic. Eggs are shelled and sliced, along with pork. Corn bread on the side.

[@marijaivankovic5634]

Rasika je kraljica topli pozdrav za baku i diidu Neko ima Hercegovacke korijene cim cisto kazete Rastka

[@netkotamo]

Dida je takva Hercegovačka legenda!

[@kcsd608wife]

How does dida cure the ribs, you should do a video on that process

[@AngelGoodwitch]

Thank you so much for this video! My baka never let me in the kitchen while she cooked. There's a Croatian word we said growing up that I've always wanted to ask you about, and I think I heard Dida say it around 18:53 as he gets a piece of bread. I can't spell it but it is a verb that means to sop up sauce or liquid with your bread. Think of the unsellable middle of the word "measure" I'll use zz for that part: muh-zz-uh. Is that what I heard?

[@CoolCat847]

It's spelled ''može'' and it means ''it can'' or it can just mean ''yes'' as in agreeing with something. In this context she asked him ''is it delicious?'' and he said ''može, može, fino'' which means something like ''yes it can pass, it's delicious'' with fino meaning ''delicious''. Soaking up the bread with something would be said as the verbs ''namočiti'' or ''umakati'' but that's not what he said here.

[@AngelGoodwitch]

I thought that might have been what he said, but he was picking up bread at the exact same time, so I wasn't sure. Sara has a cute video where she describes a friend's call from a grocery store he had placed an online order with when they had to make substitutions and all he said was "može" over and over and everything turned out alright. :-) But the word I'm talking about means something else but sounds almost the same. @@CoolCat847

[@josephraich7907]

I am Croatian and I never heard off it 😊......

[@vesnalenart7729]
