"The Pohorje hams have been hanging on the hooks…" he said, and it touched my heart with its simplicity, professionalism, enthusiasm, and determination. Filip Flisar is a passionate gourmet and lover of… knives! I know, it sounds strange, but he knows everything about knives, not to mention sharpening and maintaining his household pets! Because of his - often mentioned - Pohorje pork shoulders, it seemed only logical that I prepare them for him. Pork. Not his… :)

Whether its a Christmas feast, a birthday celebration, or a romantic dinner for two, duck breast is always an excellent choice. It delights diners not only with its tender, flavorful, and juicy meat but also with its crispy roasted skin that melts in your mouth. A festive touch is added by the holiday spices used to season the meat before roasting and the sweet-and-sour cranberry sauce served with the roasted duck. The dish pairs well with a vegetable puree, which can be made from potatoes, parsnips, cauliflower, or sweet potatoes.
