Auf dem Lande | From the countryside
(07 September 2025)
Life in the countryside is very different from life in the cities. It is characterized by family, hospitality, traditions, hardships, and hard work well into old age.
And ... it is often a happier life than we imagine. Those who have little worry less, and the many daily news updates of the world, which we constantly receive on our phones (and don’t really need), reach these people less often or perhaps not at all.
We thank the photographer Sorin Onișor ( Sorin Onișor ) for the permission to use these atmospheric images.

THE HISTORY OF THE POTATO IN TRANSYLVANIA

THE HISTORY OF THE POTATO IN TRANSYLVANIA
(01 September 2025)
Last weekend, the official opening of the Potato Festival (period: August 30 to November 2, 2025) took place at the Brukenthal National Museum.
The painter Mircea Codrea, originally from Avrig, gave the event a special brilliance through a gesture of great artistic depth: in front of the guests and visitors of the Brukenthal National Museum, he presented a reinterpretation of Vincent van Gogh’s famous painting – “The Potato Eaters” (1885). This painting, regarded as one of the most expressive works of the Dutch artist’s youth, depicts a humble scene from the life of Dutch peasants, sitting around a table and sharing a modest but authentic potato-based dinner. The work is characterized by its dramatic composition, dark tones, powerful brushstrokes, and the expressive faces of the figures, all reflecting van Gogh’s empathy for ordinary people and rural life.
Through this artistic intervention, Mircea Codrea brought a visual reflection on the cultural significance of the potato into the present, complementing the festival’s theme and giving it a European artistic dimension. It was a subtle but powerful homage not only to the food itself but also to those who cultivate and distribute it – a gesture that transcends time and borders.

Mici & Kürtőskalács... Delicious
(09 August 2025)
A typical Romanian national dish and, alongside it, a typical (Hungarian) dessert. Throughout Romania you can find mici (traditionally Romanian) and usually also kürtőskalács (traditionally Hungarian).
Mici are eaten with mustard and bread or sometimes with mămăligă (polenta / corn porridge). Ultimately, we can only say one thing: Pofta bună! (Enjoy your meal)
... and thanks to you, Roland (Schmid), for the pictures 😊

Fortified churches in Transylvania | Pretai
(09 August 2025)
There are approximately 180 fortified churches in the Transylvania region; one of them is Pretai / Brateiu.
Only a few remains of the 14th‑century Gothic basilica survive today. The present church bears characteristics of the 15th century. The church interior was significantly altered by removing the southern row of pillars, raising the exterior walls, and installing a barrel vault. Particularly notable are the pillars between the north and central nave, which feature profiled cross‑sections and capitals with figurative depictions.
On the route through the Vale of the Great Kokel (Târnava Mare), a few kilometres east of Mediaș, the fortified church of Brateiu appears. It is located in the middle of the village at the village entrance.

Sarmale... A magical word and only, DELICIOUS
(06 August 2025)
They are not prepared everywhere in Romania according to the same recipe. Depending on the region and taste of the individual, they also in size vary from one place to another.
Sarmas contains meat wrapped with other ingredients in vine leaves or sauerkraut. Sarmale can be without meat (vegetarian) with vegetables.
We present a special recipe from Moldova with meat filling.
For 1 kg of minced meat (pork, beef, chicken or a mixture) add:
- 4 - 5 medium onions
- 100 grams of rice
- salt, pepper - one teaspoon each
- Dill and parsley - to taste
- Tomato broth (150 grams)
- 4 tablespoons oil (in combination with chicken)
If the meat is lean, add a few tablespoons of breadcrumbs or corn flour to better tie the mixture. Mix the contents well and then wrap it in vine leaves or cabbage, according to your preferences.
Cook for about two (2) hours, placing the sarmale close to each other in a saucepan and adding water. When the liquid in which the sarmale boils is low, add hot water to compensate. Check after the first hour of cooking and then whenever you think it is necessary.
We thank "Mama" Postolache for the recipe and her daughter for work and images.
From the amount of ingredients, about 120 wires are produced. They are usually consumed with sour cream (cream / cream) and hot pepper (chili pepper). Also, depending on the region, white bread and polenta (from maize semolina, similar to Italian polenta) are added.
We wish you good appetite (Bon appetite) 😋🥰
