Interviews
We want to give Ljubljana gastronomy faces, stories about the people who create it and locations where gastronomic stories live and the diversity they create. We present interviews through the eyes of its creators as well as through the eyes of those who experience it. Tourists, residents of Ljubljana, foreigners living here, as well as culinary experts, lovers, supporters.

We visited chef Mojmir Marko Šiftar at the Pen Klub restaurant, which he has been helming for the past three years, and chatted with him about how he got his start, and about important influences on his development, his sources of inspiration, and new Slovenian gastronomy. We also talked about the things that made him who he is today – a multi-award-winning Slovenian chef who puts creativity and good team leadership ahead of the stereotypical chef's ego and who, when it comes to his cooking style, sticks to Slovenian heritage and expresses it in a way that honours tradition while also elevating it with sophisticated techniques.
