Post new topic

Hello,

Enjoying the local food of your expat country is great, but learning to cook the dishes yourself is even better. Please share what it's like cooking like a local in Slovenia.

What are some of the most popular local dishes that are easy to prepare?

What are the most common ingredients used in dishes in Slovenia? Where can you purchase them?

Is there a specific technique or a secret ingredient to master the local cuisine?

Are there resources available to teach you to cook like a local (classes, websites, etc.)?

What are the advantages of learning to prepare local dishes in Slovenia?

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Priscilla

I have a great Slovenian traditional food cook book thays printed in english and breaks down all the traditional dishes from differe regions.
Some are traditionalcuts of meat like all the bits of the animal we dont usually use.
Not sure where you would get those from, but most recipes have standard ingredients.
