In Croatian language the name of “cook” is “kuhar“. So, Mr. Pino Kuhar from Croatia is Pino the Cook. But Kuhar is his true last name, not the nickname. Now, as a surprise, he was born in the village of Kuhari, that is, in the village of The Cooks! Employed as a professional cook, a few years ago he was proclaimed the best Croatian cook – Hrvatski kuhar (Rovinj, 2009). So, Mr. Pino The Cook is distinguished cook born in the village of The Cooks in Croatia.
