MÂNCĂRICĂ FROM THE NORTH
This dish, which literally translates as “little food” is made of chicken meat and stewed carrots, onions, and tomatoes and it ́s served cold. Dipping a slice of homemade bread in mâncărică and eating it with fresh garlic and sheep cheese is my type of culinary heaven.
BUCKWHEAT WITH CHICKEN IN WHITE SAUCE
I must say, this is one of my childhood favorites. Each time my mother cooked the buckwheat and white sauce I rejoiced, as it tasted exactly as the one we had in kindergarten.
