I really enjoy the taste of roasted peppers and this salad is certainly a family favourite. It’s also a very healthy choice, low in calories and a great source of fiber and vitamins A and C. You can serve it as a light meal or a side dish. Yummy, just writing this recipe makes me drool

This is a dish for lamb and garlic lovers! The only time of the year when we eat lamb is at Easter. It’s the second year I cooked lamb since we moved to Canada but the first time it actually tasted delicious. This is mainly because we found a very good place to buy fresh Ontario lamb (thanks Alina & Viorel for the suggestion 
). I wish you could smell the aroma of garlic and rosemary in the house, it was incredible!

Saramura de Aripioare served with polenta is a traditional Romanian recipe that is famous especially in the southern part of the country. So simple and so tasty!
The other version of the recipe that is even more famous is the grilled fish ‘saramura’. It is well known in Dobrogea, a region located between the lower Danube river and the Black Sea. This includes the beautiful Danube Delta as well which is the second largest river delta in Europe… I have yet to visit this natural paradise (planning on doing this in the Fall ).

This is my dad’s favourite dish and one of the very few recipes he prepares at home . It’s easy to make, delicious and needs to be served on weekends (you don’t want the garlicky smell to flood your office, right?!). We served it with a roasted tomato & garlic sauce and our traditional Romanian mamaliga (polenta). You can find the recipe for polenta here.

The first time I had aioli (or allioli) was last year when we visited some relatives in Spain. Aioli is a garlicky Spanish mayonnaise sauce that is usually served with seafood or fried fish. So it’s the perfect sauce for these oven-fried or breaded shrimp. Oven “frying” is a better and much healthier alternative to deep frying and it’s always our preferred choice.

I didn’t used to be a big fan of potato stew until I discovered this recipe with garlic. Everyone in my family used to make it with onions instead of garlic. One day during my high school years, I visited a friend of mine and her mom was making potato stew… it smelled (and tasted) so good that I couldn’t resist asking for the recipe. To my surprise, it was similar to my mom’s recipe except the garlic made all the difference. It’s also extremely easy to make and you only need five basic ingredients.
