Pasta is quite common too, but we simply adopted the Italian meaty and cheesy recipes. From spaghetti to lasagna – we have it all!

In Serbia, we also eat a lot of potatoes, carrots, and peas, all of which are carb-rich. More often than not, people combine these with bread or pasta. 

I personally love peas, but I learned that I shouldn’t have too many sources of carbs in one meal.

I often have quite a sweet tooth – I love chocolate and biscuits, especially Plazma, a famous local brand of biscuits.

People in Serbia rarely eat rice, and if they do, they tend to overcook it. It’s sometimes used in recipes like stuffed peppers, pilaf, and risotto. These aren’t exactly original Serbian cuisine, but they’re adapted to local tastes and, over time, became an important part of national cooking.
Personally, I love rice, but I follow Asian recipes and flavor profiles when I make it.
