One restaurant that we have been to twice so far is Chuannriver Restaurant. I will post one day soon about the extent of our meals at this establishment. Though, […]

November 4th- 7th, 2005 John and I visited Zagreb, Croatia after spending some time in Rome, Italy. While in Zagreb we visited a huge indoor/outdoor market in […] show 10 comments
ajvar is great. next time you visit zagreb, leave me a message on my blog
Rich’s ftw! Yes! (And Ann’s Bakery right up Leavitt, too) I am serbian myself and grew up eating the stuff, my favorite brand of ajvar that we buy in the chicago area is “Biljana Makedonski Ajver Hot”. Its perfect and you will probably find it in some world markets. Thanks for the suggestion A.P. I usually shop at Ann’s Bakery in West Town for Ajver (it’s near my work). I’ll keep an eye out for the brand you mention. Any favorite shops to suggest? One year ago I published my first post on Pro Bono Baker. While attempting to make naan and searching for recipes, I stumbled across Alberto’s site, Il Forno. Never before had I found such a site, but I immediately knew I would enjoy such an endeavor of my own. I began on Blogger, but soon […] show 17 comments
Congrats! Looking forward to another great year! :) Happy blog birthday, Gemma! One year and growing! Congrats Gemma! Congratulations on your first year, Gemma! Here’s to many more! Aww, thanks everyone! It has been a pleasure to get to know you over the last year and I look forward to our future culinary adventures. (and thanks for the information on the word verification Melissa! I hope it goes away soon)
hi gemma, happy blog birthday to you! here’s to many happy returns… I’m interested in hearing about the spelt wheat in Lucca. Or any more interesting healthy food from there.
Hi Gemma, well, I am back in Scotland now. And I should have paid more attention to your travel itinerary on the left – then I would have noticed that you’re in Tallinn during the holiday season. Oh well. Next time, hopefully:)

genevieve - i love reading about your food adventures. here’s a hint if you haven’t heard already – do not go to quanjude for peking duck! it’s for tourists and no good…ask around for a real place. good peking duck can be REALLY good. :)
Hayley - So… what’s a girl got to do to get a hint of your trans-Manchurian rail adventure? I’m a sucker for good food, but almost as big a sucker for train travel.
gemma - Hi genevieve,
Thanks for the advice. My boyfriend has been seeking out some peking duck and I had heard that place mentioned. We will look elsewhere.
Hi Hayley,
I am so behind with posting! I will eventually post about the Trans-Manchurian, but first I have to post about Hungary, the Czech Republic, Poland. . .etc. . . I broke in about Beijing in order to participate in IMBB. If I have the chance I will try to put up some pictures and a brief description on my travel page in the next few days. Thanks for your interest, I will do my best!
boo_licious - Your adventures sound great – glad you are having such a fantastic time. I must admit I’ve not eaten Sichuan noodles but these sound really nice although not spicy enough as everyone associates Sichuan food with lots and lots of chillies.
J - hi gemma, great post and imbb entry!it sounds like you had a truly fabulous time…
gemma - Hi boo and J,
Thanks, we did have an amazing trip. So fleeting though! These noodles were so interesting, I just had to post about them. I am glad you enjoyed it.

Dee in Beijing - I love that dish ! Do also try noodles made from beans and also from sweet potato – both look white/clear like rice noodles.
