With 14+ years in top kitchens across Romania and Serbia, he researches historic regional recipes and modernises them without losing authenticity. His work has represented Banat on international stages—Vienna (2024), Frankfurt (2024), Berlin (2025)—and in cultural settings such as the Craiova Christmas Fair (2024) and Friedrich Schiller University Jena (2025).

He shares his craft through regular demos and masterclasses within Culinaria Banatica, and has catered major milestones including the closing gala of Timișoara – European Capital of Culture, the opening of Mocioni Castle in Timiș County, and the Mocioni Project launch at the National Museum of Banat. Skilled in thematic menu creation, team coordination and producer partnerships, Romanov is ideally placed to serve Banat 2028 – European Region of Gastronomy: co-creating cross-border menus, mentoring young chefs, leading public tastings and showcasing short-supply chains, thus bringing to life the region’s spirit.
