About this tour
This session follows the Friday food market at Odprta kuhna and the Central Market beside it, moving between cooks preparing kranjska klobasa, štruklji and prekmurska gibanica. The camera also stops at the market's cheese, honey and wine stalls. It gives a sense of what a Friday evening looks like in Ljubljana without leaving home.
After a sound check, the guide walks stall to stall, letting the camera show the food and answering questions about what is on offer. A short list of dishes and where to find them is sent once the call ends.
This suits anyone interested in Slovenian food or markets, or anyone planning a Friday evening in Ljubljana. It also works for those who remember the market from a past visit.
