Summary/Abstract: The article proposes a comparative view over the treatment applied to Romanian cuisine terms in two translations of a book by Radu Anton Roman, journalist and writer fond of gastronomy. Marily le Nïr and Alistair Ian Blyth used sometimes similar, sometimes different means to render the names of dishes, ingredients, tools, measure units or Romanian traditions. Their work is successful,but the connotations of some words prove that absolute equivalence of terms remains illusory.
