smoke food to preserve it, but rather to enrich it and make it
taste better. What was once a way to preserve food has now become a
method to prepare "delicacies." Home Smoking will show you,

hearty stews, gammon-stuffed apples and poached ox tongue with
olive salsa; An enticing range of sweet desserts from a summer
fruit marble cake to a pumpkin creme caramel; A variety of pickles,
preserves, compotes and drinks to cater to every taste! Lavishly
illustrated with stunning photographs both of the delicious recipes
and the breathtaking Romanian landscapes which inspired them, this
beautiful cook book will fast become a staple of any kitchen lucky

home, travelling in the kitchen can be a great comfort. And I have
been so grateful for Irina Georgescu for taking me to Romania
through the pages of her wonderful book, Carpathia. Every page is
imbued with generosity, the spirit of community, and the flavours
of a rich and varied culture: it makes for an uplifting, inspiring
and gorgeously transporting read right now." Nigella Lawson "I
couldn't be happier to see one of my favourite cuisines being
represented by a voice as warm and thoughtful as Irina Georgescu's.
Carpathia is full of delicious and interesting recipes and photos
that will tempt you to travel to the Carpathian Mountains
immediately." Olia Hercules, author of Mamushka and Kaukasis. "I've
spent the day reading Carpathia by Irina Georgescu... I can't wait
to make her smoked ham hock with butter beans, oven-baked barley
with chicken, peppers and mushrooms, fried chicken with caramelised
quince and - most of all - ossobucco with dill oil and horseradish
sauce... Carpathia is a book I'm going to get stuck into this
autumn." Diana Henry "The recipes are both wonderfully enticing and
extremely approachable, and there's a deftness to the writing that
is very beguiling.... And the food is fascinating: a mix of the
familiar and the unfamiliar... It offers a welcome window into
Romanian culture. And the best thing about it is the love for
family and country that just sings through the pages." Fuchsia
Dunlop "An absolutely beautiful book showcasing Romanian food as a
wondrous amalgam of Europe's diverse cuisines. Real, delicious and
accessible - I will be making everything from the placinta to
prajitura, cremsnit to cataif!" Helen Goh, co-author of Sweet with
Yotam Ottolenghi. "Carpathia takes the reader roaming through
Romania from Transylvania to the Danube Delta while introducing
dozens of satisfying recipes that express the landscape, culture
and joys of traditional Romanian hospitality. This is a book of
many virtues, filled with new ideas, flavours and insights."

full of life and flavour; I not only want to try so many of the
