Early life and education
[edit | edit source]Roš was born in 1972[2] and grew up in Tolmin, Slovenia.[1][3] Her father, Bojan, is a physician and her mother, Katja, a journalist.[4][3] She has a sister, Maja, who is a journalist.[5][3] She trained in alpine skiing as a child, earning a place in the Yugoslavian youth national team, but later decided she didn't want a professional career in skiing. She studied diplomacy in Gorizia, Italy, at the University of Trieste.[4][6][5][1]
Career
[edit | edit source]The family of Roš's then-partner, Valter Kramar, owned the restaurant Hiša Franko.[4][6][5] Kramar's parents retired, and the couple took over the family restaurant, with Roš working as a server and Kramar became a sommelier.[5] In 2002 Roš, who has no formal culinary training, took over the kitchen,[4][1] learning to cook with the help of her mother-in-law and a family friend.[5]

Roš's cooking style focuses on local ingredients.[4] According to the New York Times, nearly every ingredient used at Hiša Franko is sourced within 50 kilometres (31 mi) of the restaurant.[1] Roš characterizes her own approach as "technical, almost scientific." She has said she has a preference for serving raw food, especially vegetables.[8]
