Bucharest – The recipe of a traditional dessert from the Tarnavelor Region, the Grief Hanklich, was featured in the famous Milk Street Magazine, in the January-February issue, after its founder, Christopher Kimball, personally tasted the dessert prepared by Ibolyka Macarov, a core member of the Women’s Neighborhood of Saschiz.

“Christopher Kimball was here together with Irina Georgescu, who is a seasoned food writer and food blogger. She is of Romanian origin but lives in England. The recommendation also came from the executive president of the ADEPT Foundation, Cristi Gherghiceanu. They filmed, I understand they were filming for a cooking show. They asked me a lot of questions about my cooking, where my passion for cooking comes from, inspiration, how I cook and much, much more. We also talked about the Women’s Neighborhood of Saschiz, how we are organized now, I showed them the recipe book and talked about the food we cook and where the recipes come from,” Ibolyka Macarov told the press on Tuesday.

The housewife said that the feedback from the Milk Street Magazine team has been great, both for the hanklich she cooked and the bean soup she served them.

After becoming known in the last two decades as an UNESCO world heritage site, Saschiz village is now internationally known for its tasty food, shows the ADEPT Foundation of Saschiz on its Facebook page
