What to expect
Join us just outside Brașov, in your cozy family home, for a heartwarming cultural experience. This isn’t just about learning how to make sarmale, Romania’s beloved stuffed cabbage rolls, it’s a journey into your traditions and family life. You’ll discover why sarmale are served at every Romanian celebration, from weddings to Christmas dinners, and how each family adds their own twist to the recipe.
Guided by my mom (a true master of the craft), you’ll mix, roll, and season everything using family techniques passed down through generations.
As your creations slowly cook on the stove, we’ll gather around for stories, laughter, and a tasting of local treats: cheeses, sausages, pork skin (for the curious!), and more. We’ll toast with unlimited local wine and țuică, and you’ll get a sip of my dad’s famous cherry liqueur, vișinată, a sweet family tradition.
When the sarmale are ready, you’ll sit down to enjoy the reward of your own hands, paired with polenta, sour cream, and a homemade dessert. And since this is a hands-on learning experience, everything you'll eat is made by you, with a little help from us, of course!
