This week's episode, as reported by Večernji List, highlighted Ana's exceptional culinary skills, earning her a perfect score. Her menu, featuring dishes like 'Vratite se Milnari svi' (a cuttlefish and pea dish) and a traditional Brač almond cake, showcased the rich flavors of Croatian gastronomy. The inclusion of local ingredients like bottarga and the surprise performance by the Milna DVD choir added a unique, heartwarming touch that resonates deeply with the audience. Such moments underscore the show's ability to foster a sense of community and national pride through shared meals and traditions.

I heard she cooks well and I expect a good dinner.
