Zacusca is a Romanian and Moldovan spread of roasted eggplant and sweet peppers cooked down with onion, tomato and oil, made in quantity in autumn and kept in jars for winter.

This Romanian cozonac recipe makes two enriched loaves filled with walnuts, sultanas and a whipped egg-white mixture. The dough rises once before filling and again in tins, then bakes in two oven stages.

Vinegar from spring birch sap fermented to alcohol and then acetic acid, usually with added sugar or honey because the sap is so dilute; made in Sweden and described in older eastern European accounts.
