Inspired (by mother, of course)



My inspiration has always been my mother and the fantastic food that she has provided for her family and friends. Here, she is making some amazing bread, bread sticks, and "colaci". She has been my inspiration and my supporter during my graduate thesis project "Body as Matter, Body as Flesh" She never gets tired to cook, bake and share the traditional Romanian dishes, which are, as American would call "slow foods". What are "slow foods?" Simply I would define them as foods that use natural processes (such as fermentation, pickling, brine, dough rising, marinating and so on) during the process of preparation. An example is the home bread making or home yogurt making, such is the trendy "Greek” yogurt.
