Our first study visit to Romania from 16 - 20 April was really a great experience! Thank you very much to the ALEG-Team for their great hospitality!

Here are some pictures of the wonderful days - of course with focus on food again!

We had dinner at this beautiful building and experienced local cooking traditions - it is the Apafi Manor, a project of the Mihai Eminiscu Trust, where one can stay overnight.  It is also a great place for seminars and workshops!

In Sighisoara we met people on the street making “Baumstriezel”: The dow is made  with yeast. You form thin and long pieces, put them on a wooden form, butter the dow and spread sugar on it. Than you have to bake it on the fire and it tastes really great!

Casa Luxemburg in Sibiu, a very good place to stay, because it is in the center of the old town and very comfortable and nice.

In Sibiu we were invited to dinner in private homes - thank you to Cecilia and to the family of Camelia - we enjoyed it very much. It is the best way to become familiar with a new country!

More information and fascinating documentations on food and cooking traditions in Romania will be coming soon.
