In December and January, we held two workshops on making various types of štruklji for members of the Bohinj Tourist Association, led by Bohinj culinary expert Mrs. Katica Mikelj. Many home cooks often encounter difficulties with dough or fillings, but according to participants’ positive feedback, Katica helped them overcome every challenge. We crafted cottage-cheese štruklji with stretched dough, buckwheat dumplings, baked buckwheat štruklji, potato štruklji with a variety of fillings, “deaf” (plain) štruklji, and Kobariški štrukeljci.
In February, our Bohinj Tourist Association members learned how to prepare perfect pizza dough and the secrets to baking an outstanding pizza. We had the privilege of being taught by the national pizza-baking champion, Jaka Valenčič. We even tried specialty pizzas topped with “zaseka” (cured pork) or “mohant” cheese — both were delicious!
Our workshops, organized for members, are always full of laughter and are designed primarily for learning new skills. Thank you to everyone who participated — we’re already looking forward to the next sessions.
