Yes, you can use this both as a direct spread on your bread or crackers, or you can use it as a sauce, for example for your pasta.

Gluten Free Thursday: Celeriac Balls – Loveliest Vegetable!
Yes, celeriac is my favourite vegetable. I posted several celeriac recipes over the years (find them here). This is yet a new trial, turning them into vegetable balls!
Vegemessut – Vegan Food Fair 2020 At Kaapelitehdas
This weekend, at Kaapelitehdas in Helsinki, there is the vegan food fair, “Vegemessut”. It’s the biggest vegan food event in Nordic countries and it has been organised a few times already. Lots of vegan food brands will be there, so if you are interested in the latest trends and products in vegansphere, be there! I will be visiting it for the first time as I always forgot it in previous years and then it was sold out. This year, thanks to a friend reminding on Facebook, I got my ticket and will be there on Saturday morning. Personally, I have mixed feelings about products like vegan “cheese”, vegan “sausage” etc. but it is still good to go and try some of the new products. So, maybe I’ll see some of you there!

Vegan Monday: Just A Simple Garlicky Mashed Potato Recipe
I decided to start this week with a simple enough recipe. I mean, mashed potatoes, how hard can it be? In this recipe, you just add a few extra ingredients to potatoes and then you’re good to go. But oh, that garlic flavour…. yum.
Cirikta or Cilikta or Pisi or… My Mother’s Mini Monsters Of Fried Dough
As the title indicates, I am not sure if there is a real name for these cuties. We always called them “cirikta”. But some call a similar recipe “cilikta”. Some call it “pisi” but I’m pretty sure it’s not pisi because pisi is rather yeasted dough. I just like calling them cute little monsters because of the shape of fried dough!
Vegan Monday: Biscotti With Dried Dates, Dried Plums And Macadamia Nuts
Biscotti. Oh how I love it. I made and published in the blog different kinds of biscottis before. They all had eggs. This one is an eggless vegan one!
First Recipe Of 2020: Sour Cream Cake With Raspberries And Sliced Almonds
First things first: happy new year! I chose this delicious recipe as the first one in 2020 because as author Dean Koontz said, “where there is cake, there is hope”.
Gluten Free Thursday: Naked Coconut Cake With Cream Cheese Buttercream And The Age Of 40
Well, it’s happening. Today. Right now. I’m 40. Today is my birthday. A new decade starts for me. I was extremely stressed and anxious when I was turning 30. This time, I kind of don’t care.
Plum Cake Aka Georgian Period Fruit Cake
I don’t like traditional fruit cakes eaten generally in Christmas time. I got to know these cakes when I moved to Helsinki, but I never became fond of them. This one, though, is a delicious version as it doesn’t have too many different fruits and also, almonds adds a nice texture. Oh and by the way, there is no plum in it.
Vegan Monday: Spiced Rice Pilaf With Green Lentils
I like rice pilaf a lot. And I like making different types of it, mixing with a variety of ingredients, such as different kinds of spices and lentils like this recipe.
