Gastronomie şi literatură în romanul Doinei Ruşti, Mâţa Vinerii
Gastronomy and Literature in Mâţa Vinerii, by Doina Ruşti

Summary/Abstract: The fictional-gastronomic code in the novel Mâţa Vinerii perfectly coexists with the literary revival of Phanariot dynasties. Like a true and experienced archaeologist, Doina Ruşti unveils and reconstructs the history of a magical recipe guide and that of the followers of some obscure divinity called Sator. In this historical fiction, the two overlapping codes generate the illusion of parallel worlds - or of alternative worlds - within which factual reality (the socio-political norms and the human typology of that time) is doubled by a magical-mystical dimension, super-human in nature, in which Sator and his followers often use gastronomic tools to coordinate the world.
