Romania 2012

I have lots of other things I should probably be doing at the moment but I keep remembering that "The Village" magazine was sent to me the other day, so I thought I'd share my excitement with you!

During the summer I did an amazing two week journalism work placement in Romania thanks to my mum and dad and the fab people at Projects Abroad.

Whilst there I did some writing for the English section of Romanian magazine "Satul" and my copies of it have finally been sent to me! It's such a great sense of achievement seeing my writing printed in a magazine... and, me being me, I even managed to get a small article about food in there too! Very surprisingly none of the dishes me and the other girls on the placement wrote about involved cabbage; I think I must've eaten cabbage for dinner 98% of the time whilst I was there.

I've searched high and low for a digital copy of this edition but can't find one anywhere, might try and scan in the articles at some point so that those of you who aren't lucky enough to see me all the time can have a quick look!

Traditional Romanian dishes of stuffed tomatoes and aubergine "salad" that me and other volunteers helped to prepare!

Served with bread, bowls of soup and copious amounts of Iced tea - creating the perfect summer feast.

 

When we went to interview a family in a small village, Bod, we were welcomed with homemade doughnuts. I can confirm that fresh, homemade doughnuts are still amazing, even in 35 degree           

heat.
