Interview with Chef Ana Roš of Hiša Franko

Interview with Chef Ana Roš of Hiša Franko

Born in Slovenia, very close to the Italian border, Ana Roš never considered cooking as a career. After trying her hand at being an alpine skier at a young age and a diplomat after university (she graduated with a degree in international and diplomatic science and worked for a period in the field), she met Valter Kramar, her ex-partner - and her whole life changed.

The two took over Hiša Franko, the restaurant that Kramar's parents owned. Situated in Kobarid, a rural part of Slovenia, it was rather isolated from other places. When the existing chef left the restaurant, she taught herself how to cook from scratch and became the head chef. Her hard work was rewarded by numerous well-deserved accolades and awards.

In 2016, Chef Roš was featured in Netflix's Chef's Table. In 2017, she was named world's best female chef by The World's 50 Best Restaurants. In 2019, Travel + Leisure named Hiša Franko one of the world's 30 best restaurants. The restaurant was awarded two Michelin stars in its first ever rating for Slovenia in 2020. And in 2023, Hiša Franko was awarded 3 stars by Michelin Guide and a green star for sustainability.

In this episode recorded in 2022, Chef Roš talked about her Slovenian heritage, how a culture defines itself, why is it so difficult to cook in a remote area, what challenges women face in the kitchen and more.
