Back in June Petru "cel Paros" Voda was looking for
materials or sources on Romania.  I came across this
last evening...

"Romania: Cooking, Literature and Politics.
A cookbook from Moldova, 1841" by Henry Notaker.
in PPC 35 1990 pp. 7-22.

Notaker relates a history of cookbooks in Romania
that may prove helpful. The earliest was a translation
dated 1846, followed by another in 1865 titled in English
as Romanian Cookery. This Moldavian work came earlier
than those two works and was published in Iasi or Jassy,
the capital of Moldova.
