About Us
Taste of Brač is a social media platform, blog, website, digital magazine, and on-line store. It was born from my longing to share the beauty of my island home, and to offer something deeper. I want to share all things Brač: the lively expressive passion of the people, the lovingly crafted domaće (homemade) goods of the land, the rich and colorful history and traditions, the beauty of the stone, sea and sun, and the sweetest and slowest pace of life on the Dalmatian islands that we call fjaka.
Brač, for me, has always been about extended family that I missed having in America. About the comforting waves of the Adriatic, the boldest hue of blue sky, the swallows playing and the seagulls gliding, the smell of fresh baked bread and marenda in my Nonna's kužina (grandmother's kitchen), the comfort of the warmed stone on my bare feet, and the deep, melodic cadence of the old Chakavian dialect that lives deep inside of me. The Dalmatian coast has many stories, but Brač has its own language, my language, still spoken in the old olive groves, within the ancient churches, and heard on lazy afternoons na riva (on the waterfront).
I should have been born on Brač, but I was 3 months premature, so my mom was rushed to Split, and there I was born. Still, I am 100% Bračanka. My family roots run deeper there than I can even trace, throughout several villages on this island, on both my mother’s and father’s side. Even though I've lived in California my entire life (we immigrated when I was 2 years old), Brač somehow always felt like home. It is not just my heritage, it’s in my heart, encoded in my DNA, and most of all, in my soul.
Living my life in California, I now long for the quiet island life every Summer, finding my way back to the my island home, and the rugged shores of the beautiful, and sometimes temperamental Adriatic. Taste of Brač was born to give me a purpose to get to know details of Brač malo po malo (little by little), and to share what I uncover as I write stories. By writing and spotlighting the traditions, food and natives of Brač, I am giving something back to the land and people that provide me with so much peace and joy in my heart. Brač will always, always be a part of me.
My intention is to share a taste of Brač; of drink, of food, of home, of history, all things domaće (homemade) and authentically Dalmatian. In the first year, through social media, a blog, website, on-line store and digital publication, you’ll be taken through ancient paths with us, learn of Brač wine and its traditions, discover the Island's history, read about family-run konobas (taverns), and glimpse village life on Brač through the lens of my curiosity. For the first year, we are offering a FREE subscription to the seasonal E-magazine, which will be sent right to your inbox so you won't miss a thing. Stay tuned for content that will educate you, inspire you, and excite you to visit this island paradise. Future plans also include a glossy, printed magazine, curated tours of the Island, and member benefits and perks. Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss any of the content and offers we have in store.
So, whether you are planning a trip for the first time, or dream of returning again, Taste of Brač invites you to pause, to feel, and to fall in love with the beauty that is uniquely Brač.
With love and warmth from California and Croatia,
