Hi, I’m Lauren. I’ve recently returned to the U.S. after a long time away, mostly in Bulgaria and Bangladesh, and will be making my home in Foodie Central - Portland, OR - at the beginning of September. I’m a roving cook who likes, and likes to write about, mostly-vegetarian, mostly-unpretentious, and mostly-unfussy food. I’m slowly filling this blog with stories about my life and my kitchen and I hope you’ll like reading it. Leave comments, tell your friends, support root vegetables.

Your mama emailed a bunch of people telling them about this so I thought I would check it out! I am glad you will be home in July though I know you will miss Bulgaria (or maybe not). Let me know when you get to Asheville and I will come and visit. I miss the mountains. There is no one for me to stay with anymore since both my grandmothers are not there. I love you!

Lauren, e-mail me. I’m home and don’t have your current e-mail address here. I want to give you some news. Love, Carole

Hi Lauren,
I’m an Australian of Bulgarian descent and had the pleasure of visiting the homeland of my Baba earlier this year. Unfortunately it was a fleeting visit which covered Sofia & Ruse, and numbered a mere 5 days.
I would be interested to know if you came across any authentic (vegetarian if possible) Bulgarian dishes that impressed you that you could share?
Thanks & regards,
Louise
ps - I love parsnips too, and as an aside found your site via FX Cuisine - have you tried the Sicilian Drowned Broccoli recipe on that site? It’s heaven!
