- The republic of Macedonia in the south of the Balkan peninsula is a young state with a rich and diverse history. Macedonia is known for its good tobacco and its red pepper specialities. Ilinka Glavevska is one of the last farmers to grow the old Bukovo pepper type and uses it to make the traditional Bukovski piper spice.
What's cookin' is about traditional culinary recipes from different European regions.

Tamo gdje zlatno sunce sja, tamo je Makedonija. Tko ne voli Makedoniju ne Voli niti ljude.
🇭🇷❤️🇲🇰
Pozdrav za bratsku Makedoniju iz Srbije. Mi kod nas radimo ajvar po vasem receptu vekovima! ❤Greetings for fraternal Macedonia from Serbia. We make ajvar according to your recipe for centuries!
Love this old lady you can see the strength in her smile,this is why we should always support the family farms all over the world,this is how good food is made of hard work
Потом все будут вспоминать какая вкусная еда была. А не улыбку и здоровую счастливую отдохнувшую женьщину. Вспомнят только еду а не человека с уставшим руками.
What an amazing woman, though the Granddaughter is yet to realise how lucky she is.
Yes, but by then perhaps, it will be too late.
Wow grandma works a lot! God bless her kind hardworking soul. Wishing y'all a long, content and prosperous life!
- Shane from Jamaica
Thanks Shane :DD
This was awesome thanks for uploading we are in Australia and never get any programs about Macedonia thanks again
Happy to see people work together.
I remember my childhood when we use to live in big joint family and all family work and help together. But now time is changed because of every one want a modern city life.
God bless Macedonia!

One of the most aesthetically pleasing films I’ve ever watched! I’m so making those beans! They look fantastic!
It is interesting that the ladies are creating strings of peppers to dry & preserve and have a similar manner preserving chilies aka peppers. My father is from New Mexico-USA-of colonial descent and the long lived tradition was to preserve New Mexico varieties of chile: Chimayo & Espanola by creating ristras. My father taught me how to hand tie the red chiles on string. Like these ladies, we tied many ristras of the red chiles to dry and preserve. We hung the ristras from the roof edge, not as decoration but for food.
That's really interesting, Betsy. Someone else here made a similar comment about "ristras" in Spanish cuisine. Food unites us!
This is the same in Tunisia :)
The proud Macedonian brand AJVAR.
Every Macedonian loves Ajvar, you gotta love it too :))
I have tried, I love red pepper and paprika, but something spoils it, probably the eggplant.
@none Depends of personal taste. Someone loves with eggplants, someone doesn’t. Someone loves with chilli, a dash with tomatoes, but the original is only with red peppers. It should be fried enough.
It could be the eggplants, but I think the most probably not well sealed enough or poorly preserved.
Macedonia one of the best country's to visit cheap and beautiful.Best food and people too bad i can't return this year to visit it again.Best regards off all Macedonian people's.
Such beautiful people. Everything it’s so natural and vibrant. I’m packing my bags and living Los Angeles California 😝 Macedonia here I go ❤️

" I cannot and will not cook, Grandma does all the cooking, why should I ? " Well sweetheart, Grandma cannot and will not live for ever !
I think you can only blame the parents who dont let her or teach her, there was a phrase in the beginning: grandma is in charge and cooks for everyone. So I guess that's it, problem in duty distribution.
@@BaibaVulgaris agreed. unfortunately this is quite a common problem in the balkans, where grandmas - out of love - want to do everything for everyone, and end up turning rest of family in lazy entitled brats who dont respect them because they think it's normal. tho you know, when one is an adult, one should figure out to help. it's not a matter of upbringing anymore, it's matter of basic propriety, i would think at least.
@@BaibaVulgaris Except that in the video grandma was asking her to help and she outright refused.
yes this is common in the balkans. young people dont want to work and act western and lazy
@@BaibaVulgaris What are you talking about? If she was a kid ok, i could accept that answer, but she is a complete adult, she takes her own desicions and she will have to carry with the weight of what she has chosen... and she is a lazy girl by the way, something she has also chosen to be. We really have to stop blaming parents for the faults in their adult sons or daughters. Once you are 16/18 you are responsible for what you do or do not do, and this woman is choosing the easy way out
Soo my first impresion of Macedonia is that the visit was to sort lovely people, very cheap stuff and nice infrastructure.I didnt expect to be such a nice country and i enjoyed every moment.
@alucard alucardidis One ocupated part of Macednoia is in Grece, for the first time in history. Exactly from 1912.
Thank you very much for making this. I live far away from my home now, and this made me so very sentimental, it sent me straight to my childhood and the memories of my grandma. Thank you!
What a cool people and place ..... Love you Macedonia ... Cheers from INDIA
Cool place, only that it's called FYRoM or North Macedonia. It is well known that Macedonia is the Northest province of Greece since antiquity.

After this video we decided to visit Macedonia :) Thnx
How was it here in macedonia ?? :)
Love the content 💞LOVE YOU GRANDMA FROM PHILIPPINES 😘🇵🇭
I had the pleasure of living in MK for two years. Delicious food, gracious people (mostly)!
I think you are misunderstanding. The grandaughter is actually honoring the grandmother, because this is her speciality, and she knows she cannot do better. But eventually she will. I love Macedonian people. They have soul.It's the pathos of the country.
Greetings to Macedonian brothers from Greece!!

Certainly Macedonia is one of best countries in the Balkans to visit. Interesting landscape with a lot of history and especially excellent, excellent food and friendly people.

Fresh ajvar is so good. Macedonia's is the best I would say. The food here looks amazing. This takes me back to my visits to Macedonia with the smell and great tastes!!!

Greetings from Columbus Ohio. This is an amazing video and how nice you show the country side living and how older folks are pushed to the limits to survive and how they always work in the fields. I was proud to share this video with my coworkers and they got a great idea of Macedonia, its culture and food. Amazing work here!!! P.s. coworkers mentioned that Anita needs to help grandma everyonce in a while :)
Biljana Temovska greetings fellow Macedonian Ohioan. My grandmother and great grandparents were from Struga, Macedonia, the Stoioff's and Shukoff's. I'm from Toledo. Glad to see other Ohio Macedonian Americans watching this great video.
We might be related biljana lol
Pardon the awful username, I’m yet another Macedonian Ohioan. My family moved to Akron when I was 7. I grew up in a small village outside of Skopje. I remember we grew peppers in the field behind the house, our neighbors had a cherry tree and grew cabbages and other vegetables. This video was so nostalgic and it’s awesome to meet people that have something in common.
For those of us who love to cook in a traditional way we're enjoying your documentaries so well!!! Thank you so much!!! Keep it up!!!
It would be an absolute honour to help grandma out and learn her amazing recipes.
This is quite possibly one of the best documentaries I’ve seen on CZcams in awhile.
What a delightful film. Illinka seems like a great lady, I do hope she succeeds in promoting the old type of pepper and finding someone to continue her work on the farm. And the food looks absolutely delicious! Would have loved to try it.
Love Macedonia, sayed from south Africa
Here in Romania there is no such thing as telling your grandmother you don't want to work, she would smack you Lol 🤣
Wow! Wonderful life! You are so rich! A good thought! Nucu from Dristor DC Romania! 👍🏆
Beautiful language
Can't quite believe how self-centered and work-shy granddaughter Anita is. I would give anything to have either of my darling grandmothers back for an afternoon but she says, "Why should I cook? Why should I work? My grandmother can do it all."
Beautiful! SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL!
Wow! What a slow wonderful place. I bet they live forever there.
it's interesting how the Mediterranian cultures can be similar. I'm Tunisian and the Macedonian cuisine feels just like home.
Macedonia is greek, thats why my friend! The people living in the counry in the video is not greeks, just wannabee, steeling our history and name. "North Macedonia" no days... they should be happy for even calling their country that.

I want to go to Macedonia and spend a few months learning to cook from Grandma.
This was incredible. A really special video. Thank you for sharing this with us.
THEY ARE HAPPY .
I want to travel ...my dream country Macedonia :) Thanks WocomoCOOK
If you dream to travel in Macedonia you will find yourself in the Northern province of Greece, homeland of Alexander the Great. The country you dream about is called North Macedonia aka FYRoM /ex - Vardarska.
Uttam Lawati There are thousands of Macedonians who live alongside the Turkish Pontians, Albanians, Vlachs and Armenians of Northern Greece but most Macedonians live in the Republic of Macedonia. It's a beautiful country.
@@mellake7052 PFFF...THE ORIGINAL MACEDONIAS WAS GREEK TRIBE , OPEN A BOOK . AND THE MOST OF THEM LEAVE IN ORIGINAL MACEDONIA IN GREECE YOU WANT IT OR NOT
@@papateras4212 can yall just drop it, we already changed our name so shut up and live up your own life, history is history this is the present and all is happening now ya clots
In todays "macedonia" practically lives Alabaninas, Bulgarians and Serbs, Macedonia is an artificial creation created to separate and the Balkan people, Divide and Conquer..
I really like these videos - its very interesting but more importantly very calming.
Exactly, that's it.
Belated comment as I've only recently discovered this series! Great to see old culinary traditions being respected and revived.
Fantastic video. Love macedonian food.
I loved this video as much as I love this food. Bukovo is the ancestral village of my grandparents.
This series is so informative! Thank you!
Ajvár is amazing!
Ayvar is awesome. That stuff is the nectar of the gods. Add it to a barbecue, fried meat, toast some bread and spread it on, this damn paste fits just everything.
This show is so amazing! My husband and I watch an episode or two almost every night!
Wow. I would love to try ajvar mousse with beef👍
Loved this video. Extremely educational and interesting.
This is like..our best traditional dish
The bean dish at 18:50 looks great, thanks for showing
What a delicacy! My mouth is watering ❤️
Cant wait to go in Macedonia 1 month left :) i hope i can get some seeds, spices and delicious meals in there.
Did you like Macedonia? I hope you did!
North Macedonia, Macedonia is in Greece. Skopje is kinda soulless with all the statues and buildings that don't fit in the city but Ohrid is pretty cool
@@Forlfir Greeks are not welcome on Macedonian videos... Please your comments are pointless and unnecessary.
@@teodorgeorgievski1148 Greeks and others are always welcomed on Macedonian videos....as long as politics, history, along with other means of of being a twat and stirring up hatred for no reason are left out!
@@PFbigfan447 Ofc! But I'm tired of Greek hatred towards us, like its in every fukin video/song... Its like we had a war against you but that never happened. Just leave us alone, you like it or not the world knows us as Macedonians! Just a side note:Greeks kinda depends on Macedonians as every summer 50% of our population travels to Greece and spend their money there!
Thanks for this video. I had a great time watching it. I wish nothing but excellent health for the people there
My beautiful Macedonia!
Taka e !
If you say Slavic gypsies you mean the Romanian people! We are Macedonians descendants of Alexander the Great! Our Slavic fathers mixed in with the native Macedonians (not Greeks) But clearly your brain is to small to understand that!
And the alphabet you will tell us that you brought it with you from Asia in the 7th century that you settled in the area. You are Slavs my boy you are Slavs like the SERBS THE MONTE NEGRANS THE SLOVENS CROATIANS AND THE BOSNIANS THE NAME YUGOSLAVIA MEANS SOUTH SLAVS EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE.
Your beautiful MONKEYDONIA you small skopjan gypsy LOL
ΜΑΚΕΔΟΝΙΑ WAS, IS AND WILL BE FOREVER HELLENIC !!! little skopjans you will remain gypsies and beg for an identity LOL
The granddaughter its just spoilled by grandma, thats how we live in the Balkans ,our parents love us
Sadly...
i love these shows
It's ironic, "I Don't Cook because Gran does" what are you going to do when Gran dies? They work for a company that does what, tells people they should save their traditions... but they don't do the work themselves? It's a bit of a joke. (It's a beautiful place, with beautiful traditions. Practice those traditions or they will be lost.)
Dude when "Gran" dies they are going to stop eating or her mom is gonna cook, when her mom dies she is going to cook (If she learns to cook)
McD.
I think you can only blame the parents who dont let her or teach her, there was a phrase in the beginning: grandma is in charge and cooks for everyone. So I guess that's it, problem in duty distribution.
"Why should I..."?
AHmmmm, appreciation, affection, gratitude, respect, generosity, compassion for grandma's hard work, realization that, when grandma dies, these recipes can be lost. Those are all great reasons to realize that, though you may not Need to put yourself out, you may definitely regret being too caught up in 'self' to never do it.
2Thess. 3:10,
10, In fact, when we were with you, we used to give you this order: “If anyone does not want to work, neither let him eat.”

This is real MAKEDONIJA, and real traditional old Macedonian recepies, i guarantee you foreigners!!, the greeks are intruders here, and trying to turn your attention from the real traditional Macedonian old fashion recepies, and Macedonian heritage, which you can't find anywhere in the world except Here!!
AHAHAAAA... BEFORE 100 YEARS YOU WAS WITH SERBIANS AND BULGARS SO THE RECEPIES BELONG TO THEM . YOU CAME IN BALKANS AFTER 1000 YEARS OF ALEXANDER DEATH SO,, WHO ARE THE INTRUDERS IS ALREADY WRITTEN
No, @@papateras4212 Before 100 (and a bit) years, the northern part of Greece was part of the rest of Macedonia.

@@user-ft3xt5hk8d Emanuela, you are TZAFERI, and that is most important dot for your attitude

Hahahaha. I'm Macedonian and i understand what the grandmas are saying without translation and it is hilarious.
Edit: also macedonian grandmas are the best
Now i´m curious. Babuskas are always the best ppl you can find, in any country. In Moldova me and my mate ran into a group of Macedonian grandma´s on a holiday and they gave us candy and tried to promote their daughters to us ("She is an animal doctor! You can have all dogs u want!"). They where amazing. Kept the package of the Kavabon as a reminder.
you can't be macedonian someone told you are macedenoin, you are probably Bulgarian, Serb or Albanian...
@@zivoticH🇲🇰 Yes Macedonian is what they are Do you know what you are or do you want to be told
@@zivoticH What a moronic troll you are.... Get a life you sado. Your mind is way too small for the world you live in.
@@zivoticH That is your twisted view. Of course Alexander The Great has Greek roots. None denies this. However, the people of Macedonia are indigenous to that region for thousands of years, compared to the Tatars and pure Slavs. No Serb or Bulgarian can claim that the Macedonians belong to their nation. It would be a big fallacy to do so, just because they speak a similar Slavic idiom. Language is merely a tool and it does not define a nation. Linguists have been confirming this for decades. Ethnically, the Serbs and Bulgarians are very different. So are modern Greeks.
Gran is doing lots of work... So strong never ever tired.

Awesome ~ thanks !
Great granny.... god bless her... by the way ..i usuallly buy Croatin or Bulgarian ajvar here in Holland.... would like to try the real Ajvar from Macedonia...👍🍻
Croatian generally isn't that good (commercial ones, homemade is good everywhere). I'm a Croat, but Macedonian is the best in my opinion. "Mama's" brand is the best, try that one if you find it.
If you can try homemade sometimes, difference is huge.
Macedonian Ajvar is a must, a delicacy..
I buy Macedonian ajvar in Nederland in turkish stores ( in Alkmaar ) ! the best is from the company called VIPRO ( mild and hot variant ) ! 3,75 € for 800 gr.!
