A country in Eastern Europe Romania has a diverse geography and a rich history both of which are reflected in the country's complex cuisine. With the Carpathian Mountains running through the center and the Black Sea bordering the country to the southeast Romania was historically divided into four regions that became one country after World War II. These four regions (Transylvania Moldavia Wallachia and Dobruja) although sharing the same language developed under very different historical circumstances but were influenced in different ways by other cultures and ethnicities.

The diverse essence of Romanian gastronomy is especially evident in the traditional Christmas dishes specific to each historical region. Christmas is one of the most important holidays in Romania as it has a deep spiritual and cultural meaning.
Traditional Christmas cooking is a ceremony involving all generations of a family usually associated with other festive rituals. Today only a few of these ceremonial acts are still performed but Christmas cooking remains a very important part of Romanian traditions.
Romanian Christmas dishes vary depending on historical regions. The country's major geographical regions are defined by the country's landscape and history. Ethnic influences vary greatly in each region so local cuisines vary as well.
