Lipovan Cuisine — 300 Years of Tradition in the Danube Delta

The Lipovans are an ethnic group of Russian origin, settled in the Danube Delta over 300 years ago.

The philosophy of Lipovan cooking

Everything comes from water or the garden. No authentic Lipovan recipe uses ingredients that didn't exist in the Delta 200 years ago.
