No Rumanian meal is complete without a dessert. Home made desserts are still dominant, even in the cities, where there is always a mother or grandmother who is an expert at preparing them. Gogoase, which are a form of donuts, are quite popular and easy to make. They are served with a light sugar frost. Placinte are similar to pies and they are also quick to prepare, a fact that doesn’t diminish their excellent taste. Home made cookies such as prajitura cu mere – apple cookies or prajitura cu branza – cheese cookies are very popular as well. Other forms of puffy cookies types bear different names, depending on the regional characteristics. The term “saratele” defines another wide spectrum of Rumanian desserts. They are baked and salted, often spiced with cinnamon, and they may take absolutely any shape the cook desires to give them. Compot is a home made canned fruit assortment, in which the boiled fruit are canned in their own syrup. In families where there are no “talented cooks” or where no one has sufficient time to cook, desserts are bought from stores.
