Despite the fact that it was surrounded by charismatic neighbors, Turkish, Greek, Balkan cuisines, Bulgarian cuisine was able to preserve its originality. Bulgarian cuisine has absorbed many culinary traditions since the time when it was part of the Byzantine Empire. The names of some of the Bulgarian dishes remind us that the country was under the Ottoman yoke for a long time. Bulgarian cuisine is renowned for its variety and wide palette of flavors that can impress even the jaded gourmet. Bulgarians appreciate the brightness in food, hence the love for varied seasonings and spices, and here they also love vegetables, herbs and cheeses.
