- As a native Slovenian, Luna is culturally loyal to carbohydrates, which means bread and potatoes are always on the menu.
- Her paternal grandmother is her culinary idol and inspiration, who taught her the art of eyeballing ingredients and creating spontaneous recipes.
- When she is not in the kitchen (or behind a keyboard), you can find her in the garden, harvesting homegrown herbs with her three rescue pets in tow.
Experience
Luna has enjoyed experimenting in the kitchen since she was old enough to hold a spatula. In her young adult years, she curiously tried different diets (vegan, raw, gluten-free, and vegetarian), igniting a passion for modifying and adapting recipes to make them accessible to people with dietary restrictions and preferences. She views food as the centerpiece of any community, where everyone has a seat at the table. Professionally, Luna has been a full-time freelance writer since 2015. She has an intuitive feel for any audience she writes for and has created content in multiple niches — pets, DIY, home decor, food, and more — each reflecting her dynamic personality. Her greatest strength is creating well-researched and relatable pieces that empower readers to make informed and confident decisions on big and small matters alike.
Education
Luna studied social pedagogy at the University of Ljubljana for two years, which put her directly in touch with many underprivileged communities and deepened her commitment to serving others.
