SEGEDINER GOULASH - GOULASH WITH SOUERKRAUT

"Segediner" is Slovenian short name for Segediner Goulash, which originated from Hungary.

Through our history we were also a part of Austro-Hungarian empire. We still have a big Hungarian minority on the North-East side of Slovenia. So it is not unusual that we adopted influences of their culture. Among those, we took some recipes and adopted them as ours. Goulash is now cooked all around Slovenia. In winter time segediner, goulash with souerkraut, is the most popular.

BUCKWHEAT BREAD WITH WALNUTS - SOBA BREAD

Every part of the world has some basic foods typical for their cuisine. For example, while an important basic food in Asia is rice, in the West is corn, wheat, bread... In many countries bread was or still is the basic, everyday food, which can be consumed as a main dish or as a side with almost every meal. 
Bread plays a special, very significant role in Slovenian diet and in Slovenian tradition. In the past every farmer's household baked their own bread in Krušna peč - special bread owen that was built of bricks and ceramics and was the centre of the house. Baking day was a special day. A day when bread was made  for the hole week. The hole house and air around it smelled on freshly baked bread - for many the smell of "home".
