The Dream That Brought Conacul Grigorescu Back to Life

The week's challenge: a dinner prepared by Juranda and the special guest, with 90% local ingredients — from our Slow Food producers, the local orchards, the garden and the forest.

Babic Like You've Never Tasted It Before

Tradition takes on a new flavour in episode 2 of "Flavours at the Manor with Juranda". Together with Cristina Partal, we rediscover the taste of dishes inspired by Romanian gastronomy, reinterpreted with respect for tradition and attention to every detail. An edition about authentic flavours, local ingredients and the stories born around a table.

Quality Meat Starts at the Farm

What is the secret to perfectly grilled lamb? In episode 3 of "Flavours at the Manor with Juranda", we are joined by Alexandru Ghizdeanu of Casa Ghizdeanu, one of the most respected meat producers in the Slow Food Buzău community. Beyond the dishes, we discover the story of the Slow Food Buzău community — which champions local producers, authentic ingredients and sustainable gastronomy.

Good Milk Makes Memorable Recipes

What does the taste of authentic milk really mean? In episode 4 of Savoare la Conac cu Juranda, we are joined by Mădălina Cocan, co-founder of Lăptăria cu Caimac, one of Romania’s most respected dairy brands.

Together we prepare three delicious recipes that bring out the authentic taste of the ingredients.

Beyond the kitchen, we discover the story of a brand built with passion, patience and respect for quality. We talk about the importance of authentic ingredients, about responsible production, and about how a brand is built in Romania that has earned consumers’ trust through taste and consistency.

Savoare la Conac cu Juranda is an invitation to discover the people, the places and the products that give Romania its flavour.

The Stories That Reach the Screen

Who are the people who bring a television project to life? In episode 5 of Savoare la Conac cu Juranda we meet Andreea Diaconu Alexa, presenter of the shows Antreprenorești and RoBoost, and one of the people who helped shape this project from its earliest stages.

In a candid conversation we talk about television, entrepreneurship, the challenges behind the cameras, and the passion for projects that champion authentic Romania and the people who build it day by day.

Alongside Juranda we discover another side of Andreea and the story of a career built on commitment, perseverance and love for the work.

The Story of the Organic Wines of Dealu Mare

In episode 6 of Savoare la Conac cu Juranda we are joined by Radu Bădiță, representative of Domeniile Franco-Române (DFR), and discover the story of the organic wines of one of Romania’s most renowned wine regions — Dealu Mare.

Together we talk about respect for nature, organic viticulture and the philosophy behind wines that give an honest expression of Romanian terroir.

In the kitchen at Conacul Grigorescu we prepare recipes that sit perfectly alongside the DFR wines, and discover how pairing food and wine can turn a meal into something memorable.

Peas, the Star of Three Dishes

In episode 7 of Savoare la Conac cu Juranda we cook alongside Sorin Pogona of Fresco Verde, and the star of all three dishes is a seemingly simple ingredient: the pea.

We discover the story of Fresco Verde, a Romanian vegetable grower, and learn more about the journey vegetables make from the field to our plates.

And Juranda shows how an ingredient this simple can become the star of three different dishes, full of colour and flavour.

Mangalitsa, Porcini and a Proper Feast

Mangalitsa, porcini and local ingredients — all brought together into a proper feast. In episode 8 of Savoare la Conac cu Juranda we cook alongside Răzvan Lavric and put generous dishes on the table, drawn from authentic flavours and local ingredients.

With Răzvan we learn more about the Mangalitsa pig, about the products that come from this breed, and about why good ingredients matter when you want to keep a flavour authentic.

And Juranda, as always, turns local produce into dishes that show how the most memorable meals often start from the simplest things.

An episode about flavour, about people who care, and about the pleasure of cooking and sitting together around a table.

Good Taste Starts with Simple Ingredients | Mădălina Cocan

In episode 9 of Savoare la Conac cu Juranda we meet Mădălina Cocan again, co-founder of Lăptăria cu Caimac, for another day of cooking at Conacul Grigorescu.

Alongside Juranda, Mădălina puts together a menu built around good ingredients, simple flavours and the pleasure of cooking without hurrying.

Beyond the recipes, it is a conversation about a love of good food, about respect for the ingredient, and about how tradition and modern ideas can sit naturally at the same table.

The Lăptăria cu Caimac products round out the dishes, and the stories told around the table remind us that flavour does not always mean complication. Sometimes good ingredients are enough.

Charlie Ottley on Romania and Its Flavour

In episode 10 of Savoare la Conac cu Juranda we have a special guest: Charlie Ottley — journalist, filmmaker and the man behind Flavours of Romania, the series that carried Romania’s stories, landscapes and beauty to an international audience.

This time Charlie leaves the roads of Romania for a few hours and joins us in the summer kitchen at Conacul Grigorescu. We cook together with local ingredients, discover authentic flavours and, of course, talk about Romania — about the places and the people that made Charlie fall in love with this country, and about how food, too, can tell the story of a place.

And because there are two people with a great deal of energy in the same kitchen, there is no shortage of jokes, unscripted moments and good humour.

A delicious, sparkling episode, full of stories — one not to miss.
