Despite its French name, this food is traditional in Romania, and it originates from the Salade a la Russe or Russian salad. The Romanian beef salad consists of boiled and cubed carrots, parsley roots, eggs, potatoes and beef, enriched with pickles and peas, and mixed with mayonnaise.

Not my personal favourite since I'm not into mayonnaise that much. However if you're a fan of it this dish is definitely for you!

“Mici” or “mititei” meaning “little ones” are a kind of grilled sausages that usually come in a cylindrical shape, consisting of ground beef, which is often mixed with ground pork and ground sheep meat. Garlic, black pepper and hot paprika are used to flavor this tasty food, usually served with mustard. 

Ok. So you come to Romania you have to eat mici. If there is something to celebrate they never miss on the table here. Because they are simply sooo tasty! 

There are two common recipes of tripe soup traditional in Romania; one of them is made with sour cream, and the other one is served with garlic sauce and vinegar. Besides tripe, which is calf stomach cut into strips, this soup contains carrots, turnip cabbage, celery roots and beef hocks.

Have you eaten too much meat for the past days? Well... this soup is the key to "clean" your stomach. 

To bake a truly delicious sweetbread always represents a challenge. Old experts say that the quality of the flour used is very important, but kneading the dough with a firm hand and baking the bread in a tightly closing oven make a significant difference as well.

When you'll feel the smell of this coming out of the oven and you'll taste it... you'll understand why we bake this so much during Christmas and Easter. The more cocoa... the better!
