Bulgarian food has been influenced by its Balkan neighbors of Romania, Macedonia, Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia and Albania, as well as that of Turkey, the Near East, Italy, Germany, Austro-Hungary and Russia. This delightful blend of flavors has created a memorable cuisine. Take this virtual tour of the flavors of Bulgaria.
Dina Albadawi is originally from the town of Shopska on the outskirts of Bulgaria's capital city of Sofia, and now lives in Northwest Indiana. She is a typical Bulgarian hostess, greeting her guests at the door and spreading her arms wide to welcome them into her home and the culinary delights that await.
In Bulgaria, she says, the custom is for the host or hostess to greet company at the threshold with a loaf of homemade bread, some salt and a glass of wine or brandy, symbolizing that one should always have food and drink, and that life should always have flavor.
Come join me as Albadawi treats us to a typical Bulgarian meal. Dobar Apetit (Bon Appetit)!
