Description
Tava is a meticulously researched baking book that celebrates centuries of diversity and overlapping cultures in Romanian cuisine. The author shares the story behind the dishes that have come to represent the identity of different cultural communities across Romania.
The book presents a whole culinary landscape, with recipes for Armenian pakhlava, Saxon plum pies, Swabian poppyseed crescents, Jewish fritters, and Hungarian langoși alongside traditional Romanian plăcinte pies, alivenci corn cake, strudels, and fruit dumplings. You'll also find rice or pearl barley puddings, donuts, gingerbread cookies, chocolate mousses, meringues in custard sauce, and coffee ice cream.
The recipes are easy to follow, beautifully photographed, and offer a comforting and homely feel. The book is written with integrity and respect towards Romania's rich heritage, connecting the past with a present that can be encountered by the reader when travelling in Romania.
