Culinary career

Born to distinctly ambitious parents, she trained alpine skiing as a child, earning a place in the Yugoslavian youth national team, but later decided she didn't want a professional career. After that, she studied diplomacy in Gorizia, when she met her partner Valter Kramar.[3][4][5] Kramar's parents owned Hiša Franko, an already established restaurant. Incidentally, they decided to retire just as she completed her study, so she and Kramar decided to stay and take over the family restaurant (against the wish of her parents). At first, she worked as a waitress (Kramar became a sommelier) and tried convincing the then chef to try experimenting with traditional recipes, to no avail. After he left, she took over the kitchen.[3]

With the help of her mother-in-law and a family friend, she shortly learned cooking well enough to attract attention in the wider region with her culinary creations.[5] In 2010, she was featured in the Italian culinary magazine Identità Golose, which brought her even more attention. She began receiving invitations to top-notch culinary events, such as being a guest chef of the Ikarus restaurant in Hangar-7 in Salzburg, Austria, and the Gelinaz Grand Shuffle in New York City. In 2016, Roš was featured in the Netflix documentary Chef's Table and in early 2017, she was named world's best female chef by The World's 50 Best Restaurants academy.[3]

Her cooking style features innovative remaking of traditional recipes from the upper Soča valley region, prepared with local ingredients.[3]

gollark: Or you write still less-performant high-level code, which is what you actually need most of the t ime.
gollark: Assembly is obviously better for... I don't know, when you actually need to implement interrupt handlers or something, or when you have a small bit of computing which needs to be run as fast as possible, but most practical stuff is *not* that.
