Sopska, Greek or Çopan salad; Köfte, Kebab or Cevapcici, Pita, Burek and Börek. Serbian and Bosnian, Macedonian and Montenegrin, Bulgarian and Turkish, Albanian and Kajkavian. These are just some of the many dishes prepared in various forms that are enjoyed between Klagenfurt and Istanbul, and a few of the many languages spoken in the Balkans. The couple Lojze Wieser and Barbara Maier traveled over 5000 kilometers on an exploratory journey through the Balkans in 2008. They shared their impressions in a ten-part series in the crossover of the daily newspaper "Der Standard," which is now presented for the first time as a book. Lojze Wieser's recent works include: "The Tongue Reaches Further than the Hand. Notes of a Border Publisher" (2004) and "Cooking Under Other Stars. Stories of Remote Dishes" (Czernin Verlag, 2007).
