Tussen de Pannen: Koken bij 15 culturen in Almere Bouwmeesterbuurt [
Between the Pans: Cuisine from 15 cultures in Almere Architects neighbourhood] is a very special cooking book I got last Christmas from my Romanian friend, Mihaela.
This colourful cooking book is a multicultural project of
Booming Bouwmeester and
Woningcorporatie Ymere.
This project involved 15 participants coming from different nationalities and living actually in
Almere Buiten, neighbourhood of
Bouwmeesterbuurt.
This book aim is to get people closer, knowing better each others cooking traditions.
My friend Mihaela has participated in this book representing her home country,
Romania (page 45).
She tells us how to cook a typical Romanian main course,
Ciorba de perisoare and a typical Romanian dessert,
Papanas. Lekker! Delicious!
