Slide 1 of 2

I grew up in a Croatian family that was heaven-bent on cooking. Under the daily tutelage of my mom, dad, and older sister, three cooks who taught me how to live, love and make the best Sarma (a complex yet adaptable Bosnian dish to take over the world soon), I had racked up 10,000 hours in the kitchen by the time I was sixteen. (Missed lots of soccer games and parties. And loved it!) Living between Adriatic, Italian, German, Bosnian, Hungarian, and Turkish cuisines, we were adept at discovering dishes and their stories. We would travel from Tuscany to Istanbul and from Split to Munich. Upon returning home, we would get experiments started. Back in 6th grade, I guest-hosted a cooking show on Croatian national TV channel. Today, it is mostly about New York City and the rich immigrant tradition that makes New York City so special. She (NYC) is full of culinary artists, fresh ingredients, healthy choices, and ways to pack old dishes and new techniques into food that will awake and nourish anyone willing to learn and travel the world through NYC kitchens. Cooking, like life, is the place of constant transformation. You only need to recognize two or three wholesome ingredients in your story, your relationships, or in your kitchen (every one of us has them, no doubt) and get enchanted with what's possible. Although my first love is Croatian cuisine, and while Balkan and Tuscan cooking is my heart’s home, I love to challenge, experiment, and learn, while always being in touch with the four elements of fire, water, earth, and air. I love to search the city for extraordinary finds that can transport people across the globe, across their own memories and dreams, and across the table to a new friend. Come, sit, and feast on your life. Feel at home in the world. It’s beautiful.

My sister in law and I thoroughly enjoyed our evening at Samir’s. The food was wonderful and plentiful and the company so interesting. Great conversations. And to top it off we had Samir’s panettone dessert. Probably one of the most luscious things I’ve ever eaten. All-around a great, memorable experience. Not to be missed.

Incredible quality and variety. Samir is a brilliant chef and an amazing human being. Six stars!

It was FANTASTIC!! This is an event I am more than happy to do multiples times even of the same menu. I can't wait for the next one. Kudos on a job well done. <3

Great food, great company, great conversations, and warm hospitality. What more could you ask for? Samir is a terrific host. Highly recommended!
