Transylvanian cooking here means sour soups, polenta, smoked meats, cheeses and seasonal preserves — often in a rural kitchen or farm table setting. We collect enquiries for hosted meals or short cooking sessions; menus depend on what hosts can source that week.
Dietary requirements
Traditional menus are meat- and dairy-heavy. Vegetarian or allergy-friendly options may be possible with advance notice — include restrictions in your enquiry so we do not promise something a host cannot safely provide.
What is not included
Transport to the host, alcohol purchases and castle or museum tickets are separate unless explicitly quoted in a confirmed offer.
