At Hiša Linhart in Radovljica in the north-west of the country, chef Uroš Štefelin uses modern ideas and techniques to take traditional Slovenian cuisine to a higher level. His cuisine is enhanced using local ingredients grown either in his own kitchen garden or sourced from neighbouring farms, all of which play a starring role in creative dishes that reinterpret traditional Gorenjska recipes and are full of flavour and colour.
Exotic ingredients are banned from his cuisine: “We’re not looking to create a wow effect simple by using unfamiliar flavours,” the chef explains, demonstrating how combinations of various Slovenian ingredients can also create different and interesting flavours.
