In the 2021/2022 school year, Vrtec Ledina participated in the national project "With the game to the first tourist steps", organized by the Tourist Association of Slovenia. The theme of the project was "My town, my chef". We collected recipes for typical Slovenian dishes, and prepared some of them. We were most proud of preparing Ljubljana pancakes with Slovenian chef Luka Jezeršek.
We also invited all partners of the project to participate. Each country has added to the recipe book some recipes of typical dishes from their country, which are easy to prepare with children. This is how the Happy children's kitchen collaborative recipe book was created.
Then, in kindergartens and schools, we prepared typical dishes from different countries, and the children also cooked at home with their parents. The response from all sides was excellent.
As part of the Ecoschool, Barbara Medvešek and Maja Klančar presented the project and the recipe book at the Altermed & GreenVita fair, on May 20, 2022 in Celje, Slovenia.
