Mobile app helps users find their way through leading indigenous and traditional Croatian dishes



"Croatian cuisine" is the name of the new Croatian mobile application in form of an inventive culinary guide that primarily helps users find their way through leading indigenous and traditional Croatian dishes.

The scents of Lika polenta or Zagorje žganci with sour milk, sweet taste of homemade corn bread, ham, olives, smell of cooked cabbage and sausage, cabbage rolls, salted sardines, pašticada, Zagorje strudel or greaves, smell fritters or rožata – through the application "Croatian cuisine" tourists can venture out and explore every corner of Croatian gastronomy, in six languages - Croatian, English, German, Italian, French and Spanish.

Besides the features of classic cookboo, that brings the ingredients and instructions for preparation for every prominent local dish, the application "Croatian cuisine" allows users to access a gastronomic guide with geocoded map, helping them in this way to find the origin of Croatian national delicacies, and restaurants where they can taste the same.

"Foreign tourists no longer buy heavy and expensive guides, but they are all interested in travel planning and selection of tourist destinations and arrival at the destination available on their smartphones. Croatia is known as a land of premium gourmet experiences and this application offers each guest the best of traditional Croatian cuisine of our grandmothers," says Andreja Horvatić, the author of the mobile application "Croatian cuisine" and director of Pro and Ltd, who developed this application over a period of twelve months, with the support of the Ministry of Entrepreneurship and Ministry of Tourism. "The idea was born out of necessity. Tourists always talk about our gastronomy and exquisite taste in food. I also believe that Croatian immigrants will be the ones who will present this application in the best way, retelling the flavors that we remind them of in the application. This is a true gastronomic guide packed with photos and I believe that many tourists will soon knock on the door of agencies around the world with the desire to visit the magic and delicious Croatia" says Andreja Horvatić.

Also, the mobile application "Croatian cuisine" is entirely Croatian "product" - with the authorship of Andreja Horvatić, the application was developed by two Croatian companies Interactive1 and Grafikon.

The mobile application "Croatian cuisine" is available worldwide since April 22 via the iPad, iPhone, Android phones and tablets, and is available for download in the App Store and Google Play Store.

„Hrvatska kuhinja“ naziv je nove hrvatske mobilne aplikacije koja u obliku inventivnog gastronomskog vodiča kroz Hrvatsku korisnike prvenstveno vodi u istraživanje autohtonih i tradicionalnih hrvatskih jela.

Mirisi ličke palente ili zagorskih žganaca s kiselim mlijekom, slatkasti okus domaćeg kukuruznog kruha, pršuta, maslina, miris kuhanog zelja i kobasica, sarme, slanih srdela, pašticade, okus zagorskih štrukli ili čvaraka, miris fritula ili pak rožate, s aplikacijom „Hrvatska kuhinja“ turisti mogu krenuti u istraživanje svakog gastro kutka Hrvatske, na šest jezika – uz hrvatski, cjelovit sadržaj „Hrvatske kuhinje“ dostupan je na engleskom, njemačkom, talijanskom, francuskom i španjolskom jeziku.

Uz funkcije klasične kuharice, koja za svako istaknuto domaće jelo donosi sastojke i naputke za pripremu, aplikacija „Hrvatska kuhinja“ korisnicima omogućuje i pristup gastro vodiču s geokodiranom kartom, pomažući im na taj način pronaći porijeklo hrvatskih nacionalnih delicija, a uz svako pojedino jelo, mogu otkriti i vrhunske hrvatske ugostiteljske objekte i restorane u kojima ista mogu kušati.

„Strani turisti više ne kupuju ukoričene teške i skupe vodiče, već sve što ih zanima prilikom planiranja putovanja i odabira turističke destinacije i pristizanja na odredište žele imati uz sebe, u svom pametnom telefonu. Hrvatska je poznata kao zemlja vrhunskih gurmanskih doživljaja, a aplikacija koju smo izradili svakom gostu Hrvatske nudi ono najbolje od tradicijske kuhinje naših baka,“ ističe Andreja Horvatić, autorica projekta mobilne aplikacije „Hrvatska kuhinja“ i direktorica tvrtke Pro and d.o.o., uz čiju je upornost tijekom dvanaest mjeseci, uz podršku Ministarstva poduzetništva i Ministarstva turizma Republike Hrvatske, nastajala aplikacija. „Ideja se rodila iz potrebe. Turisti i svi oni koji prenose vijesti o našoj kuhinji uvijek govore o iznimnoj gastronomiji i okusima koji se pamte. I kako to nekome pokazati, dati da kuša? Vjerujem da je i iseljenim Hrvatima bila nemoguća misija objasniti našu kuhinju – do sad, i ja se iskreno nadam da će je upravo oni predstavljati na najbolji način, srcem i dušom, prepričavajući okuse na koje smo ih u aplikaciji podsjetili. 'Hrvatska kuhinja' je mobilna aplikacija koja prenosi našu gastronomsku baštinu, koju smo na ovim prostorima stoljećima 'brusili' pod raznim utjecajima i danas zaista imamo što ponuditi. Osim klasične kuharice, aplikacija je pravi gastro vodič prepun fotografija i vjerujem da će uskoro mnogi turisti kucati na vrata agencija diljem svijeta sa željom - i ja bih u tu čarobnu i ukusnu Hrvatsku,“ zaključuje Andreja Horvatić. Inače, mobilna aplikacija „Hrvatska kuhinja“ u cijelosti je hrvatski „proizvod“ – uz autorstvo Andreje Horvatić, aplikaciju je razvio tim tvrtke Interactive1, a dizajnerski pečat koji kombinira rustikalni izgled starinske kuharice, uz prepoznatljive crvene kvadrate hrvatske šahovnice, potpisuje tvrtka Grafikon.

Mobilna aplikacija „Hrvatska kuhinja“ od 22. travnja je dostupna cijelom svijetu putem iPada, iPhona, Android telefona i tableta, te je u ponudi za download u App Storeu i Google Play Storeu.
