Ros, 44, starred on Netflix's Chef's Table last year, since
when her Hisa Franko restaurant has been packed.
In April, she picked up her award for the World's Best Female
Chef by the World's 50 Best Restaurants.
The former sportswoman, who was a member of the national youth
skiing team and had studied to become a diplomat before she
began helping her husband Valter Kramar run the family business,
says those skills helped her become a successful chef.
"Gastronomy is a sort of art, it is very exact and you need a
lot of discipline that comes from sports," she said, adding that
diplomacy comes in handy when trying to avoid "nervous
breakdowns and screaming" in the kitchen.
She fell into her cooking career by accident, having canceled a
job interview in Brussels to help Kramar with Hisa Franko, and
learnt to cook with the help of her mother-in-law.
The couple were already food tourists, traveling the world to
eat at top restaurants and leaving behind Slovenian traditional
staples such as sausages, sauerkraut and dumplings.
"The food was always fascinating to me but I could not imagine
that I would ever make it," Ros said.
