Culinary Vacations in Romania

Romanian cuisine is hearty, flavorful, and heavily influenced by the peoples that the area has come into contact with. Major influences have come by way of the Ottoman Empire as well as the Greeks. For example, the Turks brought meatballs and meat filled cabbage rolls (“sarmale”) with them; whereas the Greeks came with the moussaka (“musaca”). 

Ah, winter! Gone are the hot days of summer and even the cozy fall seems so far away.

Transylvania is a spectacular place to visit. It is a true magnet for travelers all over the world, with its picturesque little towns, medieval castles, mineral waters, breath-taking mountain views, and fascinating wildlife. 

If you consider yourself a food lover, I’m sure you would agree that one of the best ways to know about a new city or country is through its cuisine!
