Bosnian cuisine is a blend of Eastern and Western influences, reflecting the country's diverse cultural heritage. It features hearty and flavorful dishes, often centered around meat, such as ćevapi (grilled minced meat sausages) and burek (a savory pastry filled with meat or cheese). Soups and stews, like begova čorba and grah, are staples, often accompanied by fresh bread. Vegetables, particularly peppers, cabbage, and potatoes, are commonly used, and meals are typically seasoned with mild spices and herbs. Desserts like baklava and tufahija highlight the region's sweet tooth, often enjoyed with strong Bosnian coffee.
