Medot distilleries also participated in the Gourmet Cup Ljubljana event this year, which is increasingly gaining ground as the most important culinary event in the region. It started with a culinary-rich weekend program in Krvavec, continued with Monday's professional conference at Ljubljana Castle, which concluded with a special experience dinner with TOP Chefs (Experience dinner), and the last day was followed by the Audi Pokal Gourmet skiing cup.
Medot sparkling wines bubbled invitingly and deliciously in their natural environment, at least as far as temperatures are concerned - in the snow. Sparkling wine Medot Millésime 2008 Magnum went to the winners of all five categories of the Cup in skiing. Medot Extra Brut Cuvée was served in a wine selection prepared by the winemakers of the Koželj House of Good Wines, at an experience dinner with TOP Chefs (Experience dinner).
This year, Gredič's participation in the Gourmet Cup Ljubljana has been extended to the field of cuisine, as he is their master chef David Bucik, who is regarded by critics as a breath of fresh air, participated in two events during TOP Chefs, which included Michelin chefs and some of the most influential chefs.
At Sunday's Gourmet on the Snow in Krvavec, David Bucik prepared potato cake with Briška sausage and saffron foam with chives, which was among the first to be sold out at the event. He also served satisfied visitors with the recipe of his dish:
Potatoes are washed, peeled and boiled in salted water. When it is cooked, grate it and place it in a thin layer in a baking dish. Fry the Briška sausage on the chopped onion and spread it over the potatoes in the baking dish. Sprinkle with smoked cottage cheese and repeat the process once more. When the dish is ready, cover it with cream and egg and bake again in the oven.
In addition, David Bucik participated in the team effort for the success of Monday's Experience dinner, which was prepared in 9 courses by three TOP Chefs: Ana Roš, the best chef in the world, Philip Rachinger, a barely 28-year-old cooking enthusiast who is convincingly conquering the world's culinary public, and Luka Jezeršek, master chef and initiator of many initiatives.
Immediately after the end of this year's Gourmet Cup Ljubljana, David Bucik went to a five-star hotel in France for a one-month experience exchange. The hotel has a restaurant with one Michelin star, and the chef is Thomas Debouzy.
