We are most familiar with Central Romania, Transysvania in particular. It is like a national market garden. Fresh produce is in abundance. Every town has a covered vegetable market that spills over with home grown fruits and vegetables from small holder’s gardens and plots. The lack of availability of fertilizer during the Cold War has ensured an organic array of everyday eating. We love to shop and cook with these ingredients.
