From Dill To Dracula

Dill. A staple herb in a Romanian kitchen. Dracula. The infamous Romanian vampire.




Romania-a hidden gem of Eastern Europe-is better known for its brush with communism than its cuisine. But, just because it's hidden, doesn't mean it's forgotten. Filled with lush ingredients, many picked fresh from the field, you'll find a traditional Romanian plate loaded to the brim with vegetables and lean proteins, never lacking in flavor.




And nestled in those hidden hills and winding landscapes, lies a culture as rich and decadent as their meals. Journey through the countryside with over 80 recipes as unique as the people who have been perfecting them for centuries, all the while learning about the folklore and traditions that have steeped Romania in mystical mystery for so long.




"The photos of the food are very helpful to show me how a new and foreign recipe is supposed to look. And they're making me hungry!"

{Noel Lizotte, recipe developer at www. ApronFreeCooking.com}




"The photos in the cookbook are GORGEOUS. Not just the food photos (which will make your mouth water). Ash included photos of Romania that are STUNNING. Makes me yearn for a place I've never been (and have no personal connection to).
