A Beautiful Evening

Cindy_B, Apr 2026

Alenka gave us the true experience of being with a loving Slovenian family. Her son Luka picked us up at our hotel and drove us to their home while telling us about their country along the way. The food and wine were exceptional. We made dessert together. A beautiful evening.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Dear Cindy and Kathleen, thank you for visiting our home kitchen. We had great time together. Luka and I are having a little bit of help, hihi. Grandkids have holidays now and they want to be part of our Culinary experiences. Of course we have great time but miss you. We are also finishing a cook book. When is published I will send you a copy. Btw, did you see the video on Fb? Hahaha, what a team. We all send you toooons of hugs and kisses and wish you all the best. Love, Alenka with the family

Experience local Slovenian lifestyle

Joanne_L, Aug 2025

It was a Sunday and it’s a rest day but upon being canceled last minute by another irresponsible tour offering culinary experience (Island of cooking Ljubljana - please do not book with them, it was booked a month ago and he came a day before saying that he saw the wrong schedule so be prepared to be cancelled by this irresponsible cook who blocks you on WhatsApp too), Alenka went the extra mile to offer the tour despite being her grandson’s birthday! She brought me around the old centre and I ate some traditional foods before we went to her home and she whipped up some simple dinner with the traditional strucklji. It was impressive seeing how traditional recipes were handed down and made with precision and love. Of course, I saw her lovely grandchildren too! She drove me back to the hotel and told me to contact her if I have any issues. It was an experience into the life of the locals which I think is priceless! Not to mention, there were great views of the alps on the way to her home.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Dear Joanne, thank you so much for the words that worm my heart. We had the best time together and I am pretty sure we will meet again. I remember your excitement about the country, nature, food and nice people, of course. I am happy to share our experience with you so you could learn how to make štruklji. Haha, isn't it amazing? And delicious, mmmmm. Please stay in contact, I wish you all the best, Alenka
