Hi Ellie... Being non-Romanian and married to Romanian hubby, I have been searching for an authentic food blog to practice some of my hubby's favorite Romanian dishes. I ran across your blog upon my pinterest search for fasole batuta. My husband has been craving it, and your detailed recipe helped me succeed on my first try of fasole batuta. I am so glad I found your blog. I'll definitely try other recipes of yours. My next try will be the chicken headcheese. Thanks for sharing your recipes and wishing many blessings to you and your family.
