Ana Ros: Sun and Rain
About the book
A personal monograph of a chef and the first book by the world-renowned Ana Roš of Hiša Franko restaurant in Slovenia.
Nestled near the Italian border, in Slovenia's remote Soča Valley, at the foot of mountains and alongside a turquoise, trout-filled river, Ana Roš tells the story of her life. Through essays, memories, recipes, and photographs, she shares the idyllic landscape that inspires her, the bounty of seasonal ingredients gathered by local foragers, stories of fishing and exploration, and the development of her inventive and sophisticated cuisine at Hiša Franko – where she has elevated Slovenian gastronomy and made a significant impact on the global culinary scene.

If you are buying your first Japanese knife, the advice is to choose a multifunctional blade shape that will cover the widest range of your needs in the kitchen. This includes Gyuto, Santoku and Bunka. The rule is that bigger people need bigger knives and vice versa.
Although in the culture of the Far East it is not recommended to give a blade as a gift because of the connection with cutting off good relations, they also could not resist the perfection of such a gift, so they devised a "trick" that allows them to gift knives without problems. Just ask for one coin from the person receiving the gift and in the eyes of strict superstition spirits it will be a fair exchange. Now no joke, a knife is a gift that unlike other transient things will be remembered forever because it will serve forever.
