About

 

My name is Mona and I started this project from a very simple idea: food is life! I was eager to share with the world family recipes, bring back forgotten ingredients, and shed light on Romanian cuisine, a cuisine often ignored by many. At the same time, I wanted to share my (educated) views on nutrition, the way we acquire and consume food.

In the process, I realized what makes me happiest when it comes to writing. It is the exploration of ideas, the connection with literature, social sciences and art. I want to create interesting pieces, bring perspective, analyse and put forward new ideas. I will, hence, concentrate my efforts on the Food in Books and Stories series, which will most likely take a more academic spin. I will do my best to properly research all coming articles and include the relevant reference sources. I will try to improve my writing style. I’ll still post the occasional recipe and share my views on nutrition, as this was the genesis of The Pickled Spruit. So stick around, I’m always curious to hear your thoughts.
