The Old Bulgarian cuisine is closely related to the main occupation of the Bulgarians – agriculture. The everyday dishes consisted mainly of vegetable food and bread; meat was prepared only on holidays.

Bulgarian Cuisine has grown out of wealth of culinary traditions, both local and foreign, combined in a way which is uniquely Bulgarian, offering cuisine with its own characteristics, originality and exceptional variety.Banitza is one of the most popular and typical Bulgarian dishes, more of a breakfast or snack thing than a main course. There are many shapes and varieties of banitza - with cheese, spinach or butternut squash, but the cheese one is the most common and famous one.
