Bucharest Pride was absolutely amazing today! Tens of thousands showed up for a massive march despite the heat, a stand against nationalist fascism, a bullet Romanians managed to dodged not even two weeks ago. So many also chanted against genocide, I had tears in my eyes 🥲🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈

I've been craving it for a few days, today I got around to making it: creamy rice pudding with cardamom, lime zest and rose water, foraged wild cherries in light syrup, and seasonal flowers (honeysuckle, mallow, linden and cornflower). #WarriorNunFoodie #WarriorNun #Wildfood

For some doing a nice plating just for yourself is loosing time, but that’s now part of my daily routine (almost). I treat my time in kitchen as a break from work & my usual worries & just create with no purpose other than to treat myself like I deserve a fine dining meal. Is it pretentious? 🫣

Those balls are quite big, close to arancini size, so for me three were enough. Also, I had dessert too :))

Another rainy day, half spent proofreading, then an hour of decompressing in the kitchen: Millet and wild mushrooms croquettes w/ melted cheese core, grated parmesan, Oxalis and wild sage flowers and root puree of parsnip, carrot and celeriac. #WarriorNunFoodie #WarriorNun #Fungifriends #WildFood

I love wild food. I love the idea of knowing what and how to safely forage from nature. I enjoy learning what to do with it, how it was used in the past, and experimenting with it in a modern kitchen. Here's four wild foods from tonight's walk: dryad's saddle, wood ears, mulberries and cherries.

Mallow leaves stuffed with wild mushrooms (Cerioporus & Pleurotus), green onion, green garlic and millet, served with pink semolina porridge made with kefir and beetroot puree. Mallow flowers, wild thyme and dill-infused oil as garnish. #WarrriorNunFoodie #WarriorNun #Wildfood

We went to sleep late last night after an evening of frantic refreshing the news pages for elections’ final result, and we’ve been sleepy all day, so I took my dog to the park to just lay in the grass. Mock strawberry 🍓 as a bonus, it looks so yummy but tastes like cardboard.

Romania just dodged a very close bullet and in a spectacular turnaround voted massively for the pro-European candidate over the sinister Trumpist one. People are now celebrating in the streets and I can finally go to sleep after two weeks of anxiety… 🎉🇪🇺

Woke up at 7am to go vote and kept myself busy the rest of the day to not succumb to the general anxiety about the outcome of this election 🤞 Squash soup with leek, ginger and safflower, caramelized oyster mushrooms, wild garlic infused evo, squash seeds and violets. #WarriorNunFoodie #WarriorNun

The forest is full of hawthorn in bloom and I felt invited to pick some for tea, which is excellent for reducing stress and anxiety. I have a feeling I'll need it, especially this weekend, when Romania has presidential elections 🤞

Thank you! 🙏 Their season is just starting, hopefully this year you'll find it 🤞 Just look for a golden yellow flash of color, hard to confuse it with other species.

Chicken of the woods spiced curry (that's a mushroom not an actual bird 😅), roasted cauliflower, basmati rice, parsley, wild sage flowers. 🍄 Laetiporus sulphureus. #WarriorNunFoodie #WarriorNun #Wildfood #Fungifriends

We had a big scare with my friend's dog who had a vestibular syndrome attack on Sunday night, but after an MRI and 3 days of hospitalization he is now better and finally back with us and I'm so grateful 🥲

Okra is part of my Balkan heritage. I used to hate them but I also want to embrace the idea of old foods, so I kept trying them sparsely until I found I kinda love them roasted. Worth a try :))

Every time I cook okra (not often), I remember a bit from a fic where Beatrice hated okra and it always makes me chuckle. Bean, onion & kapia pepper mash, topped with salsa verde, roasted okra and wild oyster mushrooms and wild garlic ”capers”. #WarriorNunFoodie #WarriorNun #Wildfood #FungiFriends

Rainy morning out in nature. We got soaked, but it was worth it.

Yesterday I finished a job that took months. W/out that stress, I suddenly feel like in vacation. And after a shitty week, today I took time w/ my lunch & made something I've been craving: vol-au-vent. With a creamy filling from leftover shrooms, leek & radish greens. #WarriorNunFoodie #WarriorNun

Gem find, this abandoned place that looks like it haven’t been touched since the fall of communism era. Eerie and beautiful in a decrepit nostalgic way… ⚒️

Marinated dryad's saddle mushroom on the grill, corn & baked onion cream, herb oil (wild garlic, parsley, dill), basil, cornflowers and wild sage. With fresh pita I didn't take a picture of. #WarriorNunFoodie, #WarriorNun #FungiFriends #WildFood

The forecast said a week of rain all across Europe after a couple of days already too hot for us. I think it's coming... ⛈️

I’ve seen some amazing looking pizzas made in ooni and I was envious 😅

That’s a great tip. Will try.

mono 🍉 @monografic.bsky.social · 03/05/2025

My setup is nothing to brag about, just an ordinary electric oven that keeps disappointing me & makes me miss my old gas one. I use a pizza stone & that’s the best it can do. I’m still negotiating w/ myself to buy an ooni & instal it at my parents but it’s kinda expensive tbh & I keep postpone it 😭

mono 🍉 @monografic.bsky.social · 03/05/2025

Pizza on the grill can’t be anything but amazing! Honestly I don’t trust people who feel like policing the way food should be eaten, they tend to have unrequired opinions on other people lives as well. Fuck that, eat what to enjoy!

mono 🍉 @monografic.bsky.social · 03/05/2025

If you think something like pineapple pizza is blasphemous, don't come to my pizza party 😅 Strawberries, chicken pastrami, homemade tomato sauce, mozzarella di bufala, basil, black pepper & aceto balsamico. Amazingly awesome! #WarriorNunFoodie #WarriorNun

#Hacks is the only thing right now that I enjoy watching. Everything else, on any platform, is just unbearable crap.

Touching grass again, or more specifically crossing a field of prickly poppies, then finding a bunch of very young and tender dryad's saddle mushrooms. Roemeria argemone, Cerioporus squamosus. #FungiFriends #Wildfood #WarriorNunFoodie #WarriorNun

Millet polenta cooked in milk w/ honey, inspired by an ancient Roman recipe, with sweetened kefir, fresh strawberries, wild elderberry jam & elder flowers. The solitary pink flower is a common stork's bill (Erodium cicutarium). #WarriorNunFoodie #WarriorNun #Wildfood

I got him protection goggles because I always worry when I drive and his head is outside the window, and we went out to test them, but a sudden rain caught out with us and now we wait in the car for it to pass.

I spent all day at my parents', because mom cooked a full Easter table so it was nonnegotiable to be there 😅 but I also enjoyed a few hours in the garden, just chilling and playing in the grass with my dog and drawing.

First day of going to a terrace in this capricious spring. I need some time adjusting to being social again 😅 but my dog loved it.
