  • Slovene Food
    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.

  • 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).

  • SLICOFI a Filled Pasta from Friuli-Venezia Giulia Which Draws
    SLICOFI A filled pasta from Friuli-Venezia Giulia which draws reference from across the border into Slovenian cuisine with their very own Idrija ravioli called žlikrofi. They are a well known dish in western Slovenia, very much a staple in Idrija and from the fact that these are born of hard labour, it suits well to a family-operated production line for the weekend. They were named Slovenia’s national dish in 2002. Slicofi from Friuli is traditionally filled with potatoes, Montasio (a cheese popular in the mountains), lard and chives. The filled pasta in your pack includes a filling of a typical ham of the region of Friuli, Prosciutto di San Daniele and also – although not traditional – Mortadella of Bologna, lending a creaminess to the filling. The condiment is usually straightforward in components and flavour (butter, sage and toasted breadcrumbs) as the filling in the pasta is what you are after. Storage: The pasta keeps chilled for up to 3 days. Do not freeze. Cooking instructions: 1. WARM a large skillet over the hob, turn off the heat and set aside. 2. Prepare small cubes of cold butter which you will use to coat the pasta after blanching. They have to be small enough to melt quickly from the residual heat of the cooked pasta. 3. Prepare a pot of water (salted - approx 3.5 Tablespoons salt to 8 Quarts water or 55g salt to 7.5L water) and bring up to a boil. Use the recommended volume of water to retain rolling boil when cold pasta is dropped.

  • A Slovenian Star on the Culinary Map of the World Top Chefs and Fresh, Locally Produced Foods
    A Slovenian Star on the Culinary Map of the World Top Chefs and Fresh, Locally Produced Foods The world-renowned chef Janez Bratovž, who laid down the standards of top-class cuisine in Slovenia, believes that "Slovenia is the next great culinary destination of the world”. The main roles in the gourmet story of the land between the Alps, the Mediterranean and the Pannonian plains are played by tradition, healthy local ingredients and innovative contemporary cuisine. Therefore, this is all the more reason why you cannot leave Slovenia without getting a taste of it and savouring the sensations you are left with long after you have ventured forth: in top- class restaurants and family-owned inns, tourist farms and at osmice (‘eight-day sitdowns'), in wine cellars and wine shops, bistros and cafes, picnics, markets and culinary tours. A well known saying goes that good food is the way to someone’s heart. And that is why this love for excellent Slovenian food will be all the more reason for you to come back experience green, healthy and active adventures. In recent years we have witnessed a great boom in culinary tourism in the country. Today, the best Slovenian chefs running top-notch restaurants are reaching for the stars on the shoulders of tradition and renowned family inns. They find special inspiration in a love of the home environment and traditional local ingredients since they are all keen supporters of the garden-to-table philosophy. It is quite difficult to choose the most delicious culinary experience in Slovenia. Is it the Open

These trends owe their popularity to, among others, favorable climatic conditions, interesting tourist attraction and folklore. One of the countries that attracts a large number of tourists is North Macedonia. The local population is increasingly taking actions to attract the attention of foreigners, also by means of promoting national cuisine. Macedonian dishes perfectly reflect the spirit of the Balkans and fresh fruit and vegetables testify to the high quality of food products. Data pertaining to the popularity of Macedonian cuisine among tourists and locals were collected using a survey. The group of respondents includes 130 visi- tors and 31 residents of North Macedonia. The results of the study showed that the local dishes are still identified with the entire Balkan area and their origin is often confused. Traditional Macedonian dishes, however, thanks to good promotion and advertising have the potential to become a strong factor attracting foreign tourists.
