About Darko Slivar
I’m Darko Slivar, a chef from Split with over 20 years of international experience, specialising in Mediterranean cuisine with French and Japanese influences.
In 2019, I opened Familija, a 200-seat Dalmatian restaurant at the Žrnovnica waterfalls, known for authentic food and live music. Closing after two difficult pandemic years became a valuable lesson in resilience.
That journey inspired three specialised digital cookbooks, hands-on workshops in Split with my business partner, and a functional nutrition project launching soon.
Three practical cookbooks featuring skin-supportive meals, vegan and gluten-free recipes, and authentic Italian classics.
