Welcome to Foodie Roam!

I’m Jure Tufekčić, a home cook, former professional chef, and passionate traveler who believes the best way to explore the world is through food. Originally from Croatia, I now live in Ireland, but my journey has taken me across over 50 countries worldwide. Every recipe I share is inspired by the places I’ve explored, the flavors I’ve discovered, and my love for creating meals that bring people together.

Why I Started Foodie Roam

My passion for cooking and travel began in childhood, fueled by an insatiable curiosity about the world. I’ve always loved introducing friends to something new—dishes they’d never tried or flavors they didn’t expect. Their excitement and encouragement led me to share my recipes with a wider audience, and that’s how Foodie Roam was born. This space is all about sharing my culinary adventures and inspiring you to create your own.

My Approach to Cooking

For me, cooking is about constantly exploring and evolving. While I enjoy the comfort of traditional recipes from my childhood, I’m always looking to push boundaries and try something new. Whether it’s mastering a challenging technique or experimenting with unexpected flavor combinations, my goal is to keep each meal exciting.

I believe in using high-quality ingredients and the right tools to ensure every dish is as good as it can be. It’s not just about consistency in taste—it’s about discovering new flavors while delivering a meal that’s consistently excellent.

Travel + Food = Inspiration

Travel and food are inseparable for me. My recipes are inspired by the vibrant flavors of places I’ve visited, and often, food inspires me to visit new destinations. Whether it’s the fragrant spices of a Southeast Asian market, the rich traditions of Italian cuisine, or the comforting flavors of Croatian dishes, every meal tells a story. But inspiration doesn’t stop there—anything in the world can spark a new recipe. Food is a universal language, and I’m always eager to explore its endless possibilities.
