hi, I’m Ruxandra
Ruxandra Niță
Food blogger · Recipe developer · Food photographer
I'm the cook, food photographer and writer behind Gourmandelle. I went vegetarian and started this blog in 2011, while I was studying architecture in Bucharest. Fifteen years later there are more than 1,000 recipes here, in English and Romanian, each one cooked and photographed in my own kitchen, many with vegetables from our garden. My goal is simple: vegetables as the star of the plate, in recipes that work on a busy weeknight.
