About

Welcome to Nina’s Notes — a little corner for food, culture, and mindful living.

I’m a Slovenian living in Spain, scribbling down stories and discoveries from my kitchen and travels. Here, you’ll find my notes on delicious food, the rich traditions of Spanish food culture, and my explorations into farming, quality ingredients, and a slower, more sustainable way of living.

Since moving to Spain, I’ve been exploring:

  • How the Mediterranean diet connects food, health, and happiness.
  • Ways to eat more sustainably — from choosing seasonal produce to cutting food waste.
  • The contrasts between Spanish and Slovenian farming and what we can learn from each.
  • What’s really inside processed foods and how to make better choices.

Alongside my thoughts, you’ll also find simple recipes, cultural notes, and ideas for making your meals both satisfying and sustainable.
