A Taste of Slovenia: Sylvia gave a talk on Slovenian food and wine, providing a very useful overview of the culinary regions, key characteristics of the food and cuisine and sources for cooking books and ideas for travel in the country. We were also delighted to be joined by the Slovenian Ambassador, Tadej Rupei, who provided an introduction.
