A friend recently sent me a link to the Peace Corps Cookbook written for those volunteers living in Bulgaria by past Bulgarian volunteers.

I got a huge kick out of reading through many of the recipes. I figured that some of my readers might as well. So here's to the <a href="http://www.peacecorps.gov/wws/educators/enrichment/recipes/media/BulgariaCookbook_part1.pdf" target="_blank">Bulgarian Peace Corps Cookbook</a>!!

There's a list of common ingredients in Bulgarian with an English translation. There's a list of important kitchen utensils. There are traditional Bulgarian recipes if that's your thing and a slew of other interesting recipes from all over the world.

Reading through the recipes got me inspired to try my hand at cooking some new (or at least different) dishes!! Apple pancakes anyone? Or even better pumpkin pancakes?
