Romanian cuisine is a diverse blend of different dishes from several traditions with which it has come into contact, but it also maintains its own character. It has been greatly influenced by Ottoman cuisine, while it also includes influences from the cuisines of other neighbours, such as Germans, Serbs, Bulgarians and Hungarians. Quite different types of dishes are sometimes included under a generic term; for example, the category 'ciorbă' includes a wide range of soups with a characteristic sour taste. These may be meat and vegetable soups, tripe and calf foot soups, or fish soups, all of which are soured by lemon juice, sauerkraut juice, vinegar, or traditional borş. The category 'ţuică' or 'palinca' (traditional plum brandy) is a a strong alcoholic spirit in Romania, it can also be made of pears, apples or apricots.

Itinerary: Bucharest - Brasov farmers market - Sacele village for cooking class - Bucharest Your private guide will meet you at your hotel in Bucharest. Afterwards you will start your journey to Transylvania. On the way you will stop at a farmers market to buy necessary ingredients (e.g. vegetables and herbs). Arive in the village of Sacele, here a local housewife you will welcome you into her kitchen and show you how to prepare traditional Romanian dishes, just like her grandmother thought her. You will learn how to prepare a main course and a dessert (usually Cabbage Rolls and Papanasi dessert). Afterwards everybody will sit down to enjoy the dishes they have prepared. And no Romanian meal would be complete without a shot of palinca or a glass of wine, all homemade by the man of the house.
