Various dishes that are characteristic of the region of Samokov, such as potato pancake with filling of beans, peppers, onions and spices, as well as many other local meals prepared according to old recipes were among the many culinary delights of a festival in Samokov.

"Local recipes, traditions and dishes, provide great potential for the development of the regional economy," Deputy Minister of Agriculture Georgi Sabev, a guest at the event, told journalists in Samokov. According to him, there are suitable conditions across Bulgaria and various high-quality products are produced throughout the country. There is also an economic potential that would distinguish the regions from each other and attract visitors from the country and abroad, he also pointed out.
