I’ve been living in Helsinki for 4.5 years and I never travelled to Stockholm, which is almost next door, until recently. My good friends, Utku & Nisan – a lovely Turkish couple, who moved to Stockholm from Helsinki at the end of last summer so finally this gave me an inspiration for a weekend trip. Now I want to go again.. and again.. and again.. and also to learn Swedish..
This is going to be very emotional.
I like different tastes from different cuisines, but let’s admit it, when it comes to pastries and other baked food, the French definitely know what they are doing.
Until I came to Finland, the only mushroom i knew was the common white, champignon mushroom. I can’t remember exactly, but maybe I also ate, in a few occasions, shiitake mushrooms, when I ordered some Chinese. That was all!
Come on, admit it. Ever since you watched Pixar’s movie you’ve been dying to eat Remy’s ratatouille! Well, here is the recipe for it!
It was around last January when I started to think about ways to learn more traditional Finnish recipes. My language skills were not good enough to test if the online recipes I found were good or not. Plus, I had already realised that learning a recipe from a friend by cooking together was a lot fun and the best way. So I decided to apply this method in a context further than Helsinki, and I started my little trips around Finland in search for recipes.
Today is Sunday. And I woke up with a craving for pancakes. So I rushed out of bed and made these pancakes.
I admit: the first time I made this cake, it was because I loved how it looks!
A few weeks ago, in K-market in Kamppi, I saw a package of colourful carrots. They looked so much like the usual suspects. They were beautiful with different colours. I had to do something with them.
Isn’t summer more colourful in everything? I tried to make another colour combination for this delicious and healthy summer salad for lunch.
