COOK WITH ME

Culinary Experience with Chef Marko Žagar

My name is Marko Žagar, and I invite you to discover authentic Slovenian cuisine with me.

Cooking has been part of my family’s life for generations. I grew up surrounded by homemade food, family recipes, and stories shared around the dining table. Since 1971, my family has been preserving traditional Slovenian recipes and culinary heritage, which I now share with guests from all over the world.

When you visit me, you’re not just joining a cooking class — you’re coming as a guest.

 Trustindex preveri, ali je izvorni vir ocene Google. Čudovita izkušnja delavnice! Ambient, da se ga ne moreš nagledat. Hrana domača, ampak pripeljana do meni čisto novega nivoja, pa še za vsak okus se kaj najde. Vina, po katerih niti malo ne boli glavca😄. Gostitelj zabaven in obenem profesionalen kuhar ter učitelj. Neponovljivo! Priporočam👌👌

 Trustindex preveri, ali je izvorni vir ocene Google. Team building v klub gurmanov je fantastično doživetje. S svojo skupino programerjev in našimi družinskimi člani smo preživeli res izjemen večer, še otroci niso hoteli domov, kaj šele mi ostali. Če lahko v eni besedi združimo osebni pristop, prijaznost in strokovnost je potem to MARKO !

 Trustindex preveri, ali je izvorni vir ocene Google. Obisk Kluba Gurmanov Skaručna je bil za naju z možem pravo gastronomsko in srčno doživetje!

Neizmerno sva uživala ne samo v pripravi jedi, temveč tudi v čudovitem vzdušju, polnem pozitivne energije, topline in zgodovinskih atributov mediteranske kulinarike. Skupaj smo pripravljali juho, testino, jedi iz tune — sočne zrezke in nežen tatarec, milim ter kozice. Vsaka jed je bila posebna, prefinjena, okusna in pripravljena z ljubeznijo.

Posebna zahvala gre mojstru kuhinje Marku. Njegova profesionalnost, diplomatski pristop in sposobnost, da goste vključi v proces priprave jedi, so ta kulinarični tečaj naredili resnično nepozaben. Marko je velikodušno delil svoje izkušnje, znanje in skrivnosti mediteranske kuhinje. Jasno je bilo, da je pravi mojster svojega poklica!

Posebej naju je navdušil sveže pečen kruh — dišeč, topel, kot da bi bil prežet s skrbjo in toplino gostitelja ter njegove čudovite družine. Vse postrežene dobrote so bile izjemno okusne in so pustile najlepše vtise.

Iskreno se zahvaljujeva za čudovito preživet čas, novo pridobljeno znanje in nepozabna čustva. Spomini na druženje in Markov kulinarični tečaj bodo z nama ostali še dolgo. Fotografije in vtise sva z veseljem delila z otroki in prijatelji — in zdaj tudi oni že načrtujejo obisk v Kline Gurmanov Skatučna!

Hvala za gostoljubnost, navdih in vzdušje, kamor se človek želi vedno znova vračati!Obisk Kluba Gurmanov Skaručna je bil za naju z možem pravo gastronomsko in srčno doživetje!
