New Gastro Brochure of the Zadar Tourist Board

A new brochure of the Tourist Board of the City of Zadar has just come out of print covering the gastronomy and heritage of Zadar and its region in a specific way through a series of stories about food, cooking tools and techniques, dishes, wines, liqueurs and olive oil, and talks about the food culture. 

These gastronomy stories have come about in 2010 and 2011 and are in complete form with photo galleries and short films, published and can be found on the City of Zadar Tourist Board network.  The author of all the texts is the Zadar reporter Mario Vuksan, the photographs were taken by Filip Brala and Bojan Bogdanić, while the video material was created by Damir Granić, Marko Kujundžić and Igor Goić. All the texts for the new brochure were edited and adapted or shortened by the reporter Ivica Nevešćanin, while the graphic design is signed by Mladen Košta from Hoba Design Studio. 

The brochure is published in 4,000 copies in the Croatian language and just as many in the English and German languages. Brochures in all three languages will be sent already this week to the addresses of 3,500 tourist apartment renters in the city of Zadar accompanied with Zadar Tourist Board Easter cards. 

The idea of the publisher and author of the new brochure was to present the basics of local gastronomy to the guests of this region in a slightly different manner than that of similar standard promotional materials, with an emphasis on characteristic foodstuffs: from lamb, cheese and wild plants to fish, crab and vegetables and premium wine and beverages placing each topic in some corresponding geographical or historical context. That is the reason the brochure is not in the form of a collection of recipes, but rather an essay on food with the history and other features of this region.
