“A nicely washed salad is put in a bowl and in the middle is placed a cooked “kavlifior« (cauliflower)”. Valentin Vodnik first published the recipe for »repuncl« or lamb’s lettuce salad (also Vodnik’s lamb’s lettuce or »repuncl« salad) in the first cookbook in Slovene language. The book was published in Ljubljana in 1799. The cookbook contains translations from German originals and for the first time, professional culinary terminology was written in Slovene language, which, in addition to culinary education, gives the book a special meaning. Valentin Vodnik in this book published three hundred recipes, including seven recipes for various salads, the enjoyment of which was not yet widespread at the time. “Repuncl’s” salad comes from a bad translation of German name for lamb’s lettuce – Rapunzel.
