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 (Romanian: Transilvania, German: Siebenbürgen or Transsilvanien) as well as in other historical regions on the territory of present-day Romania since the mid 12th century onwards.[1][2][3]
It is a type of cuisine which, most notably, shares many similarities with the Romanian cuisine and the 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.
