Romanian Mac n’ Cheese (Macaroane cu branza)
My mom was an amazing cook. She was an inspiration and the main reason why I became passionate about food. She would cook our traditional Romanian recipes in a way that no one ever did before. Everything tasted like an explosion of flavors. She was able to cook pretty much everything, going from sarmale to cakes, sushi and all kinds of soups.

Today, I am sharing her recipe with you, hoping it will make you feel the same way.
