Determined to find the truth, Pâtca sets forth on a perilous journey that spans Romania, France, and Germany.

Written by the acclaimed author of contemporary Romanian literature, Doina Rusti, and skillfully translated by Bucharest-based English professor, James Christian Brown, The Book of Perilous Dishes is a captivating tale that will leave readers spellbound.
