PREFACEThis book is a part of the common effort of our six schools from six different countries to make a success out of our Comenius Multilateral project : Having culture as a kite, we travel European skies implemented during the period of two years, 2012 2014. Our project aims to promote cultural and intercultural awareness between European schools as well as the awareness that the existence of diversity between European countries is important and unifies, rather than separates, countries. Six schools from Cyprus, Italy, Greece, Estonia, Poland and Romania collaborate in carrying out activities that deal with various aspects of cultural heritage such as: traditional food, music, songs, dances, costumes, arts and crafts, celebrations, fairytales/legends/myths. 1545 students between 6-15 years old, regardless of origin, gender, ability, religion and socio-economic background and 129 teachers are actively involved in the project developing communication and friendship. This recipe book is the result of the work of students and teachers from Dimotiko Scholeio Mathiati - Cyprus, Kose-Uuemisa Lasteaed-Kool - Estonia, Istituto Comprensivo "Rocco Montano" Italy, Dimotiko Scholeio Ormylias Greece, Szkola Podstawowa w Sobolach Poland and Scoala Gimnaziala Nr.62 Romania. The students of each school collected three traditional recipes of main course and three traditional recipes of dessert of each country and they cooked them. These recipes together form our common traditional recipe book and so we achieve one of the objectives of our Comenius project. And thus we have a clear picture of what cooking traditions of our six European countries : Cyprus, Estonia, Italy, Greece, Poland and Romania can offer us all.

This project has been funded with support from the European Commission. This publication reflects the views only of the author, and the Commission cannot be held responsible for any use which may be made of the information contained therein.

Cypriot children making Sieftalies

Sieftalies is a popular cypriot food. It is a type of crpinette, a sausage without skin, that uses caul fat, or omentum, the membrane that surrounds the stomach of pig, to wrap the ingredients rather than sausage casing. They are typically stuffed into a pitta bread pocket, accompanied with a salad of cabbage, parsley, and raw mild onions, tomatoes and sliced cucumber. In Cyprus it is very common to find kebab or souvlaki restaurants that also sell sheftalies. In fact, it is so common that nearly every neighborhood has at least one souvlitzidiko as the kebab restaurant is called in Greek.

Cypriot children making xalva (semolina pudding)

Halvas Katsarolas means pot halva to distinguish from the one we bake in the oven. Halva is a semolina pudding that is sweetened with syrup and studded with nuts (almonds and pine nuts). It is a dessert that has Arabic origins but has been adopted into the cypriot cuisine and is widely served during fasting periods because there are no eggs or dairy in the recipe. Thus, halvas is a popular Lenten recipe in Cyprus and it is usually prepared on Kathara Deftera (Green Monday).

ChristmasOld Estonians celebrated winter solstice - the birthday of the Sun. Starting from winter solstice, the days grew longer and the sun rose higher in the sky. Julud was celebrated from St. Thomas's Day (December 21) until Epiphany (January 6) long before Christianity reached the region. Julud, which involved excessive eating and prohibitions on several types of work, was seen as a period of rest in the middle of the long dark winter. Now Christmas is a mixture of the traditional, the modern, the secular, and the religious. Like in other Nordic states, Estonia's celebration of Christmas mostly falls on Christmas Eve, however, Christmas season starts from Advent with people buying Advent calendars or lighting Advent candles. On Christmas Eve, people had to eat for 7, 9, or even 12 times. These were magic numbers and the excessive eating would make sure that the next year would be rich in food. If men ate seven times during Christmas night, they were supposed to have the strength of seven men the following year. Each year on December 24, the President of Estonia declares Christmas Peace and attends a Christmas service. The tradition was initiated by the order of Queen Kristina of Sweden in the 17th century.

Few words of introductionto traditional Polish foodPoland is an European country with a difficult history lasting more than 1000 years. In imagination, it is partially possible to go back to the distant times of the first princes and Kings of Poland, to look at the Polish state in the Middle Ages, since a general image of some culinary customs and early Polish food traditions have partly survived throughout the centuries. Some aspects of a modern Polish cuisine are similar. A willingness to keep with the tradition has always been present. However, a notable part of the traditional Polish food culture was changing by means of evolution. With a development of trade various Polish foods and products naturally influenced one another within a neighboring nations or according to arriving ethnic group traditions.Polish food culture, as we know it today, has formed. Admittedly, over three hundred years later we can assess it empirically, and with a pleasure :) Nowadays, some courses and meals that are a base of modern and traditional Polish cuisine, are common for the West Slavonic and Central-European nations. E.g. various national kinds of beetroot borscht or dumplings are well-known not only in Poland, but also in Czech Republic, Lithuania, Belarus and Ukraine. On the other hand one of the most popular, simple and not time consuming Polish food kotlet schabowy is completely similar to a schnitzel known very well in Austria and Germany.It is worthwhile adding that Polish foods grouped in 5 categories - Polish soups, first courses, appetizers & ingredients, drinks, desserts & sweets - and listed at right, constitute the typical Polish menu up to this days. Hence, during travel to Poland one will certainly come across many of them (e.g. pierogi).. We wish you good luck with your exploration of Polish tastes and Smacznego!66POLISH

Then, put the cast-iron kettle again on a strong fire just for a little time, in order for the composition to unstuck from the bottom of the cast-iron kettle. (there will be some vapors, the maize pudding will start hissing and growing).Overthrow the maize pudding on a trencher (faceplate), it is a perfect hemisphere.

How to make it:The pieces of maize pudding will be filled with fat salted cheese.

Romanian children making walnut panettone88

This is a light and sweet Romanian favorite. It is traditionally served at Christmas and Easter and a few other celebrations. The Romanians have a huge variety of recipes for sponge cake. Each region of our country has a historic recipe, just as every family has one, handed down from generation to generation. In terms of form, this cake may be straight or round, simple or braided. In terms of filling, we distinguish cakes with no filling or filled with walnuts, poppy seeds, dried fruit, or mixed. Easter sponge cake is traditionally filled with cheese (so-called cheese sponge cake). In Moldovia there are specific round and tall cakes (called old women), with no filling, whose composition contains up to 20 eggs, butter, lemon peels and / or oranges and raisins. In Transylvania they prepare especially the cakes with poppy seeds.

Romanian tradition surrounding Christmas, attesting piety, Little Lord's cloth diapers, cake with Julfa are different names of a cake that is prepared especially in rural areas, on Christmas Eve. The recipe varies slightly from region to region of the country, most are similar and have the same ritual meaning: the pious awaiting of Child Jesus. Pious women of old have probably felt the need to do something special on Christmas Eve when everybody hears carolers everywhere saying that Mary, the Lords Mother "Has no diapers, / Nor-clothes to put on, / The Holy Virgin, for the Holy Son "Then, symbolically, this cake, which is made to be eaten as the only food in the house that day, but also to be given away, is called Little Lords diapers, having the shape of thinner diapers. In Moldovia, the preparation is called cake with Julfa (Julfa the composition of hemp seed).
