Italian Cooking Class in New York with Chef Zivko

Chef Zivko was born in Belgrade, Serbia, where he was influenced by Mediterranean and Balkan roots. And what has shaped Italian cuisine is access to both the Mediterranean and Adriatic Seas.

All his experience and dedication have brought him a reward – Chef Zivko won a competition in one of the episodes of the cooking television game show Chopped.
