In this special bonus episode, Chris goes back to the heart of Slovenia's fairytale landscape, revisiting Bled—a hidden gem of glacial lakes, clifftop castles, and serene beauty. But the real highlight of this adventure is a slice of its famous culinary icon: the original Bled Cream Cake.
That and sitting down with my friends, renowned food and travel experts Daryl and Mindi Hirsch from 2foodtrippers, at the very cafe where this legendary cake was born. We chat about their philosophy on using food to truly connect with a culture while savouring this delicious dessert.
Join us as we uncover the fascinating history behind the cake, its perfect anatomy, and the staggering numbers that make it a Slovenian sensation. You'll also get practical travel tips and personal stories to inspire your own trip to this incredible destination.
