Summary/Abstract: The author discusses local gastronomy traditions in the Torda (Turda) zone, in Cluj county, Romania. Based on personal memories, the present-day local gastronomy scene is contrasted with good practices of the interwar period and of the previous centuries. Turda Gastronomy Center, run by a team led by Márta Pozsonyi, is an important example where local knowledge enters the international circuits. Local recipes and locally grown ingredients are the key elements of the Turda experiment.
