[Sca-cooks] Romanian period recipes

I am trying to make a feast set in the late-period Romanian principalities
(Moldavia, Wallachia, Transylvannia) and I'm desperately looking for actual
recipes. I've only been able to locate so far a book called "The Story of
Romanian Gastronomy" which may have information on period cookery.
Unfortunately, the only copy that seems to exist in North America so far is
in the library of congress, and that's a bit too far away from Montreal...

Does anybody has any information on this book, or any other potential
reference to period romanian cookery?

You might check this file in the Florilegium in the FOOD-BY-REGIONS
section. Right now I can't remember how much it might have on Romania.

Ummm. Pretty small so probably not much. :-(

When filing Margaret's reply to your inquiry, I did see this message in
my file of stuff saved to get added to the Florilegium.

Subject: [Sca-cooks] An Early Romanian Cookbook

An eastern european acquaintance recently sent me a copy of an early
Romanian cookbook. As best I can figure out, with the help of a
friend who knows some Romanian, it probably dates from the end of the
17th century. That's pretty late but, given how little we have from
eastern Europe, still interesting.

I have webbed a few pages of it as part of my project to find
translators for previously untranslated cookbooks. They are at:
