With a modern twist
The recipe for the original Ljubljana Štrukelj is the result of the culinary knowledge of Magdalena Knafelj Pleiweis. Her friend, Neža Lésar, transcribed the recipe while her husband, Anton Lesar, made a few final corrections. The Slovenian cookbook is the first original Slovenian cookbook, while the very first cookbook in the Slovenian language is Valentin Vodnik’s book, Kuharske bukve, published as a translation of one or more original German cookbooks in 1799. The modern interpretation of the dessert was created by pastry chefs from BIC Ljubljana and represents one of the culinary specialities and characteristics of the Slovenian capital.
