KSENIJA
KRAJŠEK
MAHORČIČ
In her youth, Ksenija devoted much of her time to music. After secondary school she completed her studies at the Faculty of Public Administration and swapped her diploma for a kitchen ladle. After marrying Martin, the change of career felt logical to her: cooking had always been her passion. Her cuisine is the fruit of her imagination — free in spirit, reflecting her childhood, her growth and her way of thinking. It shows respect for tradition and for this land.
"Ingredients are all we have, and still — they are not everything. There is love, respect... I am convinced that what we eat, and the way we prepare it, reflect our view of the world and our ability to keep it authentic. The Karst ingredients we use in our dishes are a synonym for responsibility, respect for the people who grow them on this land, and an investment in the future and our culture. Heritage has to be the foundation when shaping a contemporary, richer life, and the starting point for new creative forms."
