[Sca-cooks] Romanian period recipes

[Pixel, Goddess and Queen]

This collection, which I found last night while researching 12th Night,
has some articles that might be useful. I didn't pay a huge whole lot of
attention, but there was a lot of stuff on Eastern Europe (which is why I
didn't pay a whole lot of attention to it) and I distinctly remember
Moldavia showing up in a title. So it may or may not be helpful.
