Gluten Free Thursday: Mung Bean Balls – They Are Also Vegan!
When I saw these tiny green beans in Hauler oriental market, I knew I had to buy a package and try to do something with them!!

I made this salad the other day and my friend who saw its photo said that it looks like Easter, with all those colours on the plate.. I must admit, 6 years living in Finland, and I still don’t have much clue about Easter. My greatest contribution to Easter was I think putting on rabbit ears once and having my photo taken as a tribute to Easter bunny..
I used to be very picky with food, when I was a kid. But I was picky in a weird way: I would eat veggies like okra and eggplant, which noone in the family except me and my mum loved, but skip easier-to-like stuff like cauliflower. I think I had a prejudice against cauliflower, I don’t even remember tasting it much. This was until I lived in Paris at the age of 24 – in the middle of an expensive city where tiny little euros were not flying easily into my wallet, I learned to appreciate this vegetable thanks to its affordability. And ever since, we have a loving relationship.
Christmas is here, my adventures with gluten free dishes continue, my birthday is in 2 days, I’ll be 36 and a friend that I met for the first time in person on Monday was amazed to hear my age – he thought I was 28 at most (uuuuu!). After all, I am still asked to show my ID in Alko when I buy alcohol! It’s been a tough year for me… But well, this post is about this delicious soup which makes a great pair with last week’s gluten free cornbread.
Here is an extremely easy and quick recipe! A perfect side dish with main course, these cucumbers can stay in your fridge for 2-3 days.
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!
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.
When a friend invited me to a picnic, I wanted to bake something easy, filling but light at the same time and something salty this time. So I baked this lovely zucchini pie since I cannot get enough of zucchini this year.
