Pretzel – With A Nice, Brown Crust
I had to do it. When Germany won the game against Brazil on Tuesday, I had to bake pretzels the next day. But what a game it was!

Oven Baked Arctic Char with Lemon Sauce
It’s official: Arctic char is a fantastic fish with absolutely delicious taste in any form of cooking. It is also one of the most stylish fish with the little pink polka dots on its skin.
Eat This: Seitan Kebab in Soi Soi Kasvisravintola
A few weeks ago, I met my friends Anja (German), Gaspar (Argentinian) and Aneta (Bulgarian) in this little place called Soi Soi Kasvisravintola to have a vegetarian evening on Vaasankatu. We ended up eating, yes, but it was a bit like fighting with the food!
Manti – Turkish Dumplings with Yogurt or Walnut Sauce
Sunday lunch with family. This is what I miss. Everyone gathering around our table, having lunch and staying around the table for hours. This is what I miss. My mother, cooking. This is what I miss, the most.
Oven Baked Egg with Pepperoni – Happy Sunday Morning
A few weeks ago, I woke up on a Sunday morning with a very nice hangover. I could barely open my eyes, had a huge headache and my stomach desperately needed something spicy and rather greasy. I would either go to the nearest Hesburger and buy the greasiest thing in the menu, or I would create something from my fridge. Fortunately, I chose the second option.
Banana Cake with Pecans – Rich and Moist!

Eat This: Kolmen Kaverin Jäätelö (Finnish Ice Cream Brand) – Eat Local!
I have never been crazy about ice cream – when I was living in Istanbul, though, at the peak of summer heat I loved eating lemon ice cream most of the time. I actually prefer sorbet to fight against hot weather. But when my friend Malin told me about this one certain Finnish ice cream brand, I thought of nothing but trying it!!
Crusty Bread With Lemon Zest, Gruyere and Fresh Rosemary – Prepare Your Oven!
Have you ever baked bread? Bread is such an essential and basic food that once you are able to make one – and if it is especially a nice, crusty bread with several flavours, then you will feel really happy and accomplished. Well, at least you feel like you can really feed people now!
Drink This: Latte in Caffi
Update on 18.11.2018: This cafe no longer exists. I am not a coffee person really. I like tea, nicely and heavily brewed tea, but I am not so keen on coffee. I drink coffee, yes, but I cannot always tell the difference between good and bad coffee. I have an espresso machine at home, but I bought it to make tiramisu any time I want.
