The first book introducing readers to the bold, colourful and delicious cuisine of Romania.

Romania is a cultural melting pot. Its character is rooted in many cultures from Greek, Turkish and Slavic in the south and east, to Austrian, Hungarian and Saxon in the north and west.

Carpathia, the first book from food writer Irina Georgescu, aims to introduce the reader to Romania's unique, bold and delicious cuisine: an amalgamation of all its cultural influences. In doing so, it will take the reader on a culinary journey to the very heart of this fascinating European country, exploring its history, landscape and traditions through food. From chargrilled aubergines, polenta fritters and butterbean hummus, to tangy bors, stuffed breads and Viennese style layer cakes, Romanian cooking speaks of a country that's never afraid to mix things up!

Industry Reviews

"a wonderful new cookbook" -- Bee Wilson * Financial Times *
"genuinely fascinating" -- Felicity Cloake

"Irina Georgescu does a beautiful job of taking us to the heart of the Balkans, exploring food, traditions and breathtaking landscapes side by side."

-- Feel Good Food * Woman and Home *

"There is something to learn from a book like this, written so beautifully by someone who is fascinated by the cuisine of their homeland and takes the time to document and share it with the world. As soon as I can, I will get myself to Romania and send Irina a postcard to thank her for inspiring me to do so."

-- Joan Ransley
