SLOVENSKA KULINARIKA
Slovenija leži med Italijo, Avstrijo in Madžarsko in tako prepleta kulturo prehranjevanja vseh svojih sosed, kar ustvarja edinstvene okuse. V Sloveniji je vedno potrebno imeti prostor tudi za sladico, saj so razne torte, štruklji in pite enostavno preveč okusni. V Sloveniji obstajajo tri regije, od katerih je vsaka znana po svojih vinih in vsaka vredna ogleda.
Slovenia is nestled between Italy, Austria and Hungary absorbing food culture from all its neighbours, creating a melting pot of influences and flavours.
