Passed through numerous avatars – sweetened bread, leavened ritual bread, noble dough prepared according to foreign recipes for Easter and Christmas, sophisticated family cake, ethnic specialty, national symbol – the cozonac is linked to events, people, places and events that marked generations of Romanians. The delight of this book is in the combination of the grace of the story and the richness of the documentation. Attracted by the scent of the past from memoirs, diaries, literary works, and made to think by questions, hypotheses and etymologies, the reader is carried on a passionate search for the joy of creating, from the faces of the cozonac, a personal or collective home.
