A representative of the younger generation of Slovenian chefs, who in his culinary style continuously seeks a balance between striving for perfection and a sincere, heartfelt approach guided by creativity and playfulness. In his younger years, he successfully participated in numerous competitions, trained with experienced top chefs, and solidified his belief in a culinary career path under Janez Bratovž. However, on his ambitious culinary journey, he always listens to his heart, which ties him to his native Prekmurje, often paying homage to it through his dishes, and seeks creative ways to present proven classics in a modern way.

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.
