In the early 1960s, a young Biserka Skotra travelled over 16,000km on a boat from Yugoslavia to begin her new life in Australia, bringing with her a young son, a heavy heart and some emotional baggage. Her tenacity emerged and grew in her new land as she began her culinary arts love affair with the city of Sydney. After taking some classes in the 70s, Biserka began cooking for the continental crowd on the outskirts of south-western Sydney. Then spreading her wings, via train, she charmed the patrons' stomachs at the Victoria Cross Hotel in North Sydney. Brunch at the Blues Point Caf�e in the 80s also drew a large crowed hankering to get a taste of Biserka's cooking. Biserka was innovative, brave and successful in all her kitchens - and there were many. Our respected journalists from the ABC, Carolyn Jones and Geraldine Doogue, dined regularly at Biserka's restaurant, Ridge Street Braserie, in the 90s, and perhaps they still dream of the souffl�es she prepared specially for their crew at lunch times.
