Ana\u2019s path to the kitchen was anything but traditional; a former competitive alpine skier and diplomacy student, she pivoted to gastronomy out of love, eventually being named the World\u2019s Best Female Chef in 2017. Her journey reached a global audience when she was featured on Netflix\u2019s Chef's Table, an appearance that served as a catalyst for her career and transformed her remote restaurant into a world-class destination. Ana's culinary identity is deeply rooted in the nature of her surroundings, where she transforms foraged ingredients and traditional Slovenian products into incredible tasting experiences. Beyond the fine dining of Hi\u0161a Franko, Ana is a prolific entrepreneur, recently launching the casual dining concept Jaz and Ana Ro\u0161 Drinks, a line of innovative, ready-to-serve cocktails. Tune in to hear Ana\u2019s inspiring story of building a global gastronomic legacy and discover her philosophy on staying true to one's creative spirit.
