Review Quotes

"It's a mine of information and a beautiful read--a wonderful and thrilling way of discovering Romania." --Claudia Roden, author of The New Book of Middle Eastern Food

". . . dishes like creamy cauliflower soup, sour cream-enriched mamaliga (the Romanian polenta), lamb stewed in sauerkraut juice and scallions, mititei (exactly like the ones I tasted so long ago in Bucharest) are simple and appealing . . . Klepper paints a pretty picture of his native country's culinary possibilities." --Colman Andrews, SAVEUR magazine

"A brilliant cultural and culinary history...a collection of recipes to be treasured, tested, and enjoyed." --George Lang, Restaurateur, former owner Cafe des Artistes
