International recipe exchange with sister libraries from Finland, Lithuania and Slovenia.
The recipe collection is the result of collaboration between the Ivan Tavčar Public Library in Škofja Loka, Slovenia and our sister libraries in Lithuania (Panevežys district muncipal public Library) and Finland (Pyhajoen kirjasto Library). As part of the NAPLE SISTER LIBRARIES program, we invited visitors from these libraries to share and participate in exchanging recipes for dishes that are dear to them. We are pleased to note the diversity and richness of the culinary heritage of three countries – Slovenia, Lithuania, and Finland.
Special thanks to all who responded to our invitation to collect recipes of dishes you most enjoy cooking and eating. Together, we have woven a network of interesting flavors, recipes from three countries, which we publish in this booklet.
We invite you to embark on a culinary journey through the pages of this collection and explore the tastes, aromas, and stories that our readers have shared with you. We invite you to also try the recipes of favorite dishes from readers of sister libraries in Lithuania, Slovenia and Finland. May these recipes inspire creation and enjoyment of good food in the company of books, which always connect us.
Happy cooking and dober tek – gero apetito – hyvää ruokahalua!
