Chapter 6 · The Journal
Sarajevo — the Layered City
Bosnian coffee in a džezva, copper hammered in the bazaar, three faiths' bells within the same hour. Reserve five nights in Sarajevo in May, when the hills are thick with wild garlic and the city's tables turn to it.
Allium ursinum
Stay in the old city
A house within reach of Baščaršija, the coppersmiths' street beginning at dawn.
The wild-garlic table
A May menu built on the season's allium ursinum, foraged from the surrounding hills.
Higher
The road climbs to Igman and the medieval village of Lukomir, or waterfalls at Jajce.
A parting gift
You leave with a copper coffee set, hand-chased in the Kazandžiluk lanes, chosen for you by your hosts.
