Cooking at the Club – Bread and Fish

Cooking at the Club is a new series of events where we’ll aim for everyone to learn, and to share their skills. If you’re new to cooking, or cooking Croatian food, come along and give it a go. If you’re already a great cook, come and help out. All are welcome, members or not. This session is free, but future sessions may have an ingredients charge.

Dave Guerin is organising the sessions and will search out different recipes and usually try two different takes on the same basic idea. He’ll organise the ingredients and there may be a small charge for that. Everyone will get involved in the cooking, and get a taste of the results. Sessions will probably last about two hours. You need to contact Dave at dave@ed.co.nz or 021 404 334 if you want to come, so that we can sort out ingredient quantities.

This session, Bread and Fish, involves simple and yummy Dalmation island dishes – the first two are from Vis and the third is from Hvar.

• Viška pogača
• Komiška pogača (Dave just made this one, and you can see the filling below)
• Forska pogača

These three recipes all involve a simple focaccia-like dough (but not as bubbly), with a filling in the middle based on fried onions and anchovies. There’s a basic version, one that adds tomatoes, and one that adds goat/sheep cheese. If we can do all three, we will. This session might go a bit long, but there will be food available partway through.
