Moldovan Cuisine in Search of Identity
Moldovan Cuisine in Search of Identity

Summary/Abstract: The subject of the gastronomical identity of culture has become more and more popular in the recent decades, especially in the context of migration and the agglomeration of a sense of identity. In this article we aim to examine the gastronomic identity, the circumstances of building contemporary Moldovan cuisine and the influences that have left their mark on recipes and food processing techniques. We also consider it necessary to point out the contribution of ethnologists in the process of science researching traditional gastronomy. In the second half of the study we have described the modern methods in which the traditional cuisine is showcased in the international arena and the significant contribution of the diaspora in the process. We established that the most efficient promoting methods are the cookbooks, culinary blogs and specialty restaurants.
