UK food writer, author and James Beard award winner Irina Georgescu was born in Bucharest, Romania, where she lived for 30 years before moving to Wales. Her writing and recipes are a love letter to her homeland, a country that she believes is yet to be explored from a culinary point of view. Her books ‘Carpathia’ and ‘Tava’ gained recognition in the U.S., UK, Germany and the Netherlands.
