With a background in graphic design and dance in Croatia, Darko made a career shift to the culinary arts in 2013, receiving the Diplôme de Cuisine from the famed Cordon Bleu Foundation in Paris and gaining experience in bespoke gastronomy throughout Europe. He is now based in Munich, where he works as a nutritional specialist for young children and as a food stylist/photographer for online and print media.

Darko’s culinary passion is rooted in the natural, seasonal, and traditional foods of his hometown in Bosnia and of the many places he has travelled. He is currently developing a children’s cookbook for parents that features his work as both a photographer and a chef.
