Who I am
I am PEKIS, a professional chef and recipe developer with more than 25 years of experience in the culinary world.
My journey began back in 1987 at the Culinary Secondary School in Ljubljana, where I first discovered how precision, creativity, and discipline can turn simple ingredients into something truly exceptional.
Over the years, I’ve developed recipes that connect tradition, modern techniques, and simplicity, always guided by the goal of achieving balance between flavor, texture, and presentation.
My work is driven by patience, respect for ingredients, and a pursuit of perfection that remains human – one that inspires exploration and joy in creating.
My mission
My mission is to share reliable, well-tested recipes and expert culinary advice that help both beginners and experienced cooks achieve great results.
Each recipe is written in European measurements (g, ml, °C) and explained step by step, making every preparation clear, approachable, and enjoyable.
I believe anyone, with the right amount of precision, time, and care, can create something beautiful – if they understand ingredients, balance, and the logic of cooking.
My story
The website PEKIS.net grew from a simple love of cooking into a professional culinary platform.
Through continuous learning, research, and refinement, I’ve built a collection of recipes, articles, and techniques that unite tradition and innovation.
For me, cooking and baking are not just crafts – they are art and science combined, where intuition meets precision and creativity is rooted in respect for detail.
How I create my content
In my creative process, I combine personal expertise, experience, and curiosity with the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools that assist me in trend analysis, data organization, and idea exploration.
AI helps streamline the research process, but every final recipe, article, and piece of content is manually checked, written, and refined by me.
This fusion of human experience and modern technology allows me to craft content that is accurate, contemporary, and authentic.
What you’ll find on PEKIS.net
- Recipes with precise quantities and detailed step-by-step instructions
- Guides and tips for baking, cooking, and ingredient use

My vision
I want PEKIS.net to become a trusted, warm, and inspiring culinary resource – a place where you’ll find more than recipes: understanding, ideas, and inspiration.
I believe that cooking and baking go beyond following instructions – they are about creativity, exploration, and sharing moments that bring people, memories, and flavors together.
Everything I create stems from the belief that food is one of the most beautiful forms of creativity – and that’s where my greatest passion lies.
