Dubrovnik Association Desa is a big part of the Good Food Festival from the start. The president of Desa, Jany Hansal, said that this year is more special and interesting because it's the year of Saint Blasius, the patron of Dubrovnik. The members of the Association created a special souvenir, Saint Blasius cookie which brings a sweet flavour of tradition.

- We put a lot of love and care into every meal – said Hansal and invited everybody to come to the Association during the festival and learn how to cook traditional food.
