Anka Peljhan started project Kuhnapato (“kitchen and all that”) 14 years ago to help revive Slovenia’s regional culinary heritage, which has been all but forgotten due to the strong influence of Viennese, Italian and Balkan cuisines. In Slovenia, many regional recipes are only recorded in the handwritten notes and memories of older relatives. Peljhan, who launched the project through annual regional cooking competitions, started working directly with primary schools in 2016, funded by the Ministry of Health and the food retail chain SPAR. This year, 196 primary schools are participating, either directly or through regional Centers for School and Outdoor Education, with 7,900 children currently participating. Over 40,000 children have taken part since 2016. Each year Peljhan gathers some of the recipes in a cookbook.
