Area: Ljubljana
Theme: Eating and Drinking

Slovenia's cooking borrows from Italy, Austria and the Balkans all at once, and a restaurant menu rarely explains the mix. Here the eating is the itinerary: a guided walk through the pedestrianised centre with tasting stops for regional dishes, local wine and spirits. The Ljubljanica, Prešeren Square and the market arcades pass in between.

Ljubljana · Cooking class making štrukelj, Slovenia's rolled dough classic

A cooking class built around štrukelj, a rolled dough dish that carries either sweet or savoury fillings and turns up on Slovenian tables at every celebration. A local cook leads the group through kneading the dough, spreading the filling, rolling and baking. Afterwards everyone sits down together to eat the result, and recipes go home with participants. A practical way to meet Slovenian home cooking rather than just read menu translations.
