I had fun listening, nothing felt boring. So I wouldn't say length is a problem. I did felt that it's room for a bit of sound design. I know this is not an easy thing to do, but some background noises from the kitchen, or even just some music intro/outro would spice it up, I think. Nevertheless, I am enjoying the audio scraps, I guess I am just trying to give some constructive feedback :)

I really appreciate the constructive feedback, it’s so helpful! I know exactly what you’re saying and I’m actively trying to fix that, my fridge can get so loud sometimes UGH. Thanks so much for your input Oana :)

Bringing back my own memories of cabbage rolls! We had them every Saturday! No joke! My mother and grandmother were saints for making them! Unfortunately, that gene didn’t pass unto me😁 too much work!

Totally enjoy your posts!

The audio was so delicious to listen ❤️I love the little anecdotes and the way they make your recipes feel so much more personal and cozy! And it was really shocking to hear you’re Romanian (couldn’t have guessed it in a million years 😱 your accent is amazing!!). And as a fellow Romanian, I just want to say that I feel very proud and thankful that you reinterpret traditional food and you bring it forth to the world to see 😂 idk, I guess it just feels nice to feel represented. Anyway, I love your work, keep inspiring us with your super easy but spectacular recipes and just keep being you! Pupici! ❤️

I normally don’t like audios but your voice is so calming. It definitely added a relaxing touch. I cannot wait to try this recipe. My husband & I love cabbage & soup so much. Going to try it with ground turkey!

My father was a Siebenburger from Sieu Maramures Romania. What a beautiful country! I grew up on cabbage rolls every Christmas and continue to make them each year...my fav. I look forward to trying this soup version. I love your fun, natural, relaxed approach to cooking! Thank you!

My parents are both Romanian - mother from Bucharest and father from Cluj. Thank you for this wonderful easier version of stuffed cabbage that I love and ate all my life. My mother’s 95th birthday is coming up and we’re celebrating with family. Many family members are vegetarian so I would love to make both the classic meat and mushroom recipes you’d mentioned (I’m assuming it’s meat free). I love your fun recipes and creative storytelling style. Do you think you might post the mushroom recipe before March 19? Many thx if you do. Nuapte Bune 😊

To be honest I had this audio on in the background while I was working and didn't listen carefully. Your voice is so soothing that it didn't matter. I re-listened afterwards and enjoyed the story too. The recipe is great!
