About Me
I am PEKIS, a professional chef, recipe developer, and culinary content creator with more than 25 years of experience in the world of gastronomy.
My culinary journey began in 1987 at the Secondary School of Hospitality in Ljubljana, where I discovered how precision, creativity, and discipline can merge to create something truly exceptional – a dish that tells a story.
Throughout the years, I have cultivated an approach that connects European culinary traditions with modern techniques, developing recipes that balance authenticity, innovation, and simplicity.
Every detail matters to me – from ingredient selection to plating – because cooking is both a craft and an art form.
My Mission
My mission is to connect European culinary cultures through a reliable digital space that brings together tested recipes, professional guidance, and clear step-by-step methods.
Each recipe is written in European measurements (g, ml, °C) and explained with precision and clarity, making cooking approachable for everyone.
I believe that perfection in the kitchen doesn’t mean complexity – it means understanding balance, flavor, and timing.
Through PEKIS.eu, I aim to make professional-level cooking accessible to every home.
My Story
PEKIS.eu is an evolution of my earlier platform, PEKIS.net, created with a clear vision: to become a pan-European culinary hub that celebrates diversity through food.
Here, recipes, techniques, and articles come together to reflect the richness of European cuisine – from Nordic minimalism to Mediterranean warmth, from Slavic tradition to French refinement.
Over time, I have learned that cooking is more than preparing food. It is a universal language that connects people, memories, and cultures.
That is why PEKIS.eu was built to be a bridge between knowledge, creativity, and shared passion.
How My Content Is Created
When creating content, I combine personal experience, culinary expertise, and research-based precision with the support of modern digital tools and artificial intelligence (AI).
AI helps me analyze trends and organize data efficiently, but every final recipe, article, or guide is handcrafted, reviewed, and refined by me.
This balance between human intuition and technological precision allows me to produce content that is both authentic and up to date, maintaining a distinctly human touch.

My Vision
The goal of PEKIS.eu is to become a trusted European culinary resource that goes beyond recipes.

I believe that food is one of the most beautiful forms of creativity, a bridge between cultures and generations.
Through PEKIS.eu, I want to share that belief – creating a space where passion, precision, and flavor meet in harmony.
