About Me
Welcome to my culinary universe!
I am an artist passionate about cooking.
I like cooking, arranging the food I prepare in a spectacular manner, decorating the plates, taking photos and of course indulging with my family and friends by tasting the delicious treats.
I am a cheerful and communicative character and I like partying with every occasion, I think they are life's happy fillers.
In my early years, before the 89 events people used to spend a lot of time together, they were more united and shared with great generosity everything they had. It was like a live FB, surely the older ones know what I am talking about.
I hope that with every post on the social networks I can break the patterns in which the Romanian Kitchen is set as lacking authenticity or struggling for its own identity. I am also intending to break the misconceptions about the Communist times , when some people falsely report that due to lack of and rationing of certain foods people had nothing to eat- this is wrong! The mothers and grandmothers of our generations worked out miracles in their kitchens only on vry basic ingredients : the fruits of an extremely rich land.
The recipes on this blog are traditional, varied, with simple and natural ingredients.
I know that according to the new tendencies more and more of my friends adopt new styles: veggie, raw,etc...frightened by the diseases of the century that make more and more victims. Each is envisaging a spiritual transcending towards immunity in fron to diseases.
I have read and tried during time many nutrition styles and weight loss diets to arrive, at present, at a balanced diet without excess. I am convinced that the no. 1 enemy of health are the "long labels" with a series of hormones, preservatives, additives, sweeteners, flavour enhancers, stabilizers and emulsifiers, etc. and another dangerous enemy that many don't take notice of - the sedentary lifestyle !
So, let's enjoy together the warm cabbage rolls with cream, the steak cooked in wine, the grilled "mici", the "saints" dipped in syrup and rolled through honey and walnuts, the chocolate or walnut cake of Sanda Marin or the flower sherbets so loved by the Romanian princesses.
Let's fill our glasses with the legendary Cotnari wine and toast for our health and love life!
