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.

Ash
(who writes as “A.M.”) wears many hats, though she favors the
dark gray cable knit beanie from Amazon, most. A descendant of
Romanian immigrants, she grew up in a family that fostered all forms
of creation, the guiding force which led her towards her careers as
an author + blogger, book
designer + graphic artist,
and certified
nutrition + lifestyle coach.
She
lives in Beer + Cheese Land, Wisconsin with her real-life
superhero husband, loud-mouth + drool-bucket coonhound,
and I’m-allergic-to-myself cat,
but frequently spends a fortnight (or two) in the fictional world
of Skyrim (add
her on the PlayStation Network: supersmaaashley).
She
considers herself a designer by nature, a writer at heart, and
always wanted to make video game walk-throughs as a child. (Hint: she
still does.) Her favorite color is chartreuse, and she has an
undeniable attraction to moss (not of the Kate variety).

I never thought about Romanian cuisine before, but I really like veggies and proteins, so I'd probably give it a try in the future.
