A BRIEF INTRO TO JERNEJKITCHEN

JERNEJKITCHEN.COM, FOUNDED IN 2015.

THE IDEA AND PHILOSOPHY

So why have we started a food blog? Two reasons. First, ever since we started dating we spent a tremendous amount of time in the kitchen. Cooking, baking, entertaining and taking foodie trips around Europe. So in this digital era, it only made sense to document delicious recipes which brings me to reason number two. Even though both of our families cook I (Maja) was lacking ideas on what to cook during my college years away from home. Jernej, on the other hand, had an endless amount of ideas and inspiration so he started sending me his own recipes, tips, and tricks.

We’ve also seen that a lot of our peers didn’t have ideas or knowledge about what to cook and how to make it - I get it, I (Maja) was the same. To keep it short, our reason number two why we started a food blog is to inspire people to cook more. Easy, delicious seasonal foods, tasty desserts and comfort meals. If I (Maja) was able to do it, I know you will be able to do it too. We have your back with simple and quick recipes and recipes videos too.

THE NAME

Jernej Kitchen. Our blog is named after Jernej because he is the creator of the recipes. His real surname translates to “Beast” so it made sense to play around with the names and meanings and switch the Beast to Kitchen for the blog name.

Jernej - name / jh-erneyy/

The correct spelling of Jernej.

Kitchen - nickname / kɪtʃɪn /

LITTLE MORE INFO ABOUT US

Maja Zver

Born and raised in Slovenia, Europe. I feed my soul with amazing books, great music, nature, and meditation. Even though I am a Bachelor in Interior Design I decided to follow my passion for food photography and storytelling. One thing I really love is solving problems and communicating with people, which I find very useful in blogging too. Delicious coffee and tiramisu are my favorite desserts. If there’s one thing I wish to do more in the future is to spend more time in nature and more time traveling and connecting with people.

Jernej Zver

Born and raised in Slovenia, Europe. From an early age, I loved every minute spent on a farm, cooking, baking and all things growing food and gathering. Over the years when life happened I came to realize that gardening, spending time in nature and hiking + skateboarding are one of the best stress reliefs for me. Being Bachelor of Computer Science has helped a lot with all things blogging, but my heart is in the kitchen, where I love to challenge myself to cook new things, develop new recipes and present them super stylish too. As I am a baker by heart (and in paper:), my favorite foods by far are any kind of baked treats, especially homemade bread and any kind of delicious pasta.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

Have a delicious day.
