Slovene food Slovenian cuisine is heavily influenced by its neighbours. As a border country Slovenia borrowed recipes from Austria ("klobasa", "jabolčni štrudl" and "dunajski zrezek"), Italy ("njoki", "rižota"), Hungary ("golaž", "paprikaš") and Balkan ("burek", "čevapčiči"). Slovenian cuisine is simple, plain and heavy. The caloric food includes flour-based dishes, animal fat, beans, potatoes, cream, butter and eggs. MEAT Slovenia is familiar with all sorts of meat. Pork is very common and also a favourite. Traditionally one of the highlights of the year is the day of "koline". The pig is slaughtered, then meat is prepared and made into "krvavice", "pečenice", "kranjske klobase" and famous "želodec". In the Primorska region the people of Karst produce "pršut" (smoked ham). TRADITIONAL MAIN DISHES "Žganci" (flour mixed with water) are the best known and popular Slovene national dish, served with "ocvirki", "obara", "kislo zelje" or "kisla repa". Another popular dish is "polenta" (corn meal dish), it sometimes took the place of bread. DESERTS "Potica" is a yeast-based raised pastry filled with walnuts or poppy seed. "Prekmurska gibanica" is made of filo pastry with 4 kinds of stuffing in several layers: poppy seed, ricotta cheese, walnuts and apple stuffing. They are a speciality in Prlekija and Prekmurje. "Loparnice" are placed on the oven spade and baked in a bread oven. "Štruklji" are dumpings filled with fruit, jam or cottage cheese. They are made of stretched dough, rolled out thinly, spread with fillings, made into a roll and baked. "Krof" is a Slovenian doughnut, traditionally made during the carnival season in Ptuj. "Blejska kremšnita" is a layer of vanilla and cream between two crunchy puff pastry. DRINKS Brandy made from fruit, known as "žganje", is a popular drink to have in bars. Slovene wines are rich in quality, having a right colour and flavour. The symbol of a long and rich wine tradition is the 400 years old grapevine, which can be found in Maribor. In Slovenia, coffee and beer are the most common drinks ordered in restaurants and taverns..

Traditional Slovenian Cuisine
TRADITIONAL AND MODERN CUISINE Slovenian history best explains all of the influences on our cooking - traditional Slovenian cuisine. Our country was a part of Italy, which explains all the pastas and pastries and also, Slovenia was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and that is why Slovenian cuisine has a Hungarian influence, too, especially in meat dishes. Because it is near the Balkans, the Oriental cooking style has its own representation in the Slovenian space, especially considering all the grilled foods. An important fact when discussing Slovenian cuisine is the fact that it rarely uses imported products, such as exotic fruit or cereals that don’t grow in the country. Traditional Slovenian restaurants are called “Gostilna” and they serve meals with all of these influences. Regarding beverages, the Austrians and Hungarians “loaned” beer to the Slovenians, so popular and served with all kind of dishes. Because Slovenia also has a sea coast, it affords excellent seafood, including shellfish and the Adriatic bluefish. Slovenians seem to be very hospitable people and don’t take “no” for an answer when offering a visitor some food. TRADITIONAL SLOVENIAN CUISINE a) Read about food in different Slovenian regions and answer the questions which follow. It is very hard to say that Slovenia has a uniform, distinct cuisine. Due to its historical and regional diversity, the culinary dishes vary from region to region. There are seven regions in Slovenia; Koroška (south-eastern Carinthia), Primorska (coastal province), Dolenjska (Lower Carniola), Notranjska (Inner Carniola), Gorenjska (Upper Carniola), Prekmurje (The Pannonian region east of the Mura river) and Štajerska (Lower Styria).

Through the Kuhnapato research project, which involves beneficial trans-generational communication, they are treating us with almost forgotten dishes that have left a significant mark in the specific cultures of certain places, towns and villages. Throughout this project and through collaboration with renowned chefs, the kids gain a tremendous cooking experience and enthusiasm while creating dishes that are worthy of becoming gastronomical trademarks of their regions and an additional reason for tourists to visit them.
