Transylvanian Saxon cuisine

The Transylvanian Saxon cuisine is the traditional cuisine of the Transylvanian Saxons, a German ethnic group and minority (mostly of Luxembourgish descent—although many Transylvanian Landlers, who are of Austrian descent, had assimilated in this ethnic minority—and part of the broader community of the Germans of Romania) which has been living in Transylvania as well as in other historical regions on the territory of present-day Romania since the mid-12th century onwards.

It is a type of cuisine which, most notably, shares many similarities with Romanian cuisine and German cuisine, given the centuries-long mutual/reciprocal influence and cohabitation between the Saxons and Romanians in Transylvania, a Romanian historical region situated at the crossroads of Central, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe respectively. The Transylvanian Saxon cuisine has evolved since the High Middle Ages to the present day.
