Italy is, to most food lovers, one of the most beloved culinary destination. Behind this world renown cuisine is the philosophy of simplicity & the absolute trust in letting the great local ingredients shine. To me simplicity in many things, including food is essential. Last year I had the opportunity to photograph the beautiful Ella Kanninen in Tuscany…

Raw & Nutty granola bar for the insanely hungry
Hi there, long time no post 🙂 I don’t know about you, but for me, these autumn months are always so filled with things to do, I barely realized that September has come and gone! Between starting school, catching up on the work backlog for the summer, and the MANY social engagements of the fall, I…
Thelman vallankumouksellinen avokado- ja fetamunakas
Thelma Sibergin nuorekkaan ulkokuoren alla piilee vanha sielu. Hänen persoonallisuutensa huokuu tasapainoa, joka höystettynä vastakkaisilla ominaisuuksilla luo hänestä moniulotteisen vaikutelman. Thelma on rento mutta tarkka, synnynnäinen löytöretkeilijä, ollen samalla kuitenkin yllättävän perinteikäs. Olen kurinalainen, mutten suklaan kanssa! Tämä 24-vuotias näyttelijä Helsingistä esittää Kristaa televisiosarjassa Uusipäivä – Yle 2 kanavalla. Häpeäkseni en tiennyt koko sarjasta mitään tehdessäni…

Pia’s grilled flat bread – Blinis Style
The home is cosy, elegant and inviting. On the wall, a large black and white picture of their wedding day, through the windows, the light invades the space and touches everything in a gentle white glimmer. The mood is calm, and as I sip on my ristretto, I fall captive to Pia’s incredible story of “leaving a trace”. Sitting purposefully,…
Lazy No churn Mascarpone & Peanut butter Ice cream
If I had all the kitchen space in the world there is no limit to the cooking gear I would acquire. Unfortunately unlimited space is not yet a standard feature in our city apartment, which means I have to prioritize. When it comes to kitchen ustensile, we have a deal: if there is room for it, I get to buy…

Anne Nurminen – sitruunaisen taivaallinen pasta!
Joidenkin ihmisten intohimo ruokaa kohtaan on niin autenttista ja syvälle juurtunutta, että samanmielisyyden ja anteliaisuuden ruoanlaitossa tunnistaa miltei saman tien.

Annen Hediardin ostoskassin ja Vogue-lehden aikaansaaaman ultratyylikkään lookin takana on aitoa aseistariiisuvaa vaivattomuutta ja todellista intohimoa ruokaa kohtaan. “Intohimona kokkaaminen ja syöminen” Paitsi Account…
Crisp & Golden Chicken Shnitzel
Is there anything more delicious than hot bits of crispy breaded meat? When I was a kid my father used to imitate us trying to pronounce “shnitzel” correctly and to that day still calls them “snitshel” when he prepares them for us. To me, they evoke family holidays by the sea and are forever associated to the…
Lost in the Middle of Nowhere!
I’m an Urban Animal. I long for the muffled noise of traffic through the windows, the agitation of the city, the pulsating lights of the metropolis beats at my rhythm. I love Helsinki. As a city, I find it strangely human; it is surrounded by the sea, parks and trees everywhere; and has a softness that I am yet…
Nostalgia, Shakshuka and a French Loaf
February is here… Around this time I usually start to feel a bit homesick. The winter stretches to no end, and our spring trip to France feels still far away… Luckily on the way from work I can stop by Anton & Anton and shop around for “fancier” ingredients to spice up the daily routine. Today’s pick:…
It’s Ok; it’s Candy day everyday!
Being a French parent in Finland requires elegant navigation between two surprisingly different parenting cultures. One vivid example was the first time I discovered “karkkipäivä” (translated to “Candy day” – limiting when children can have candies to 1 day of the week – usually on the week-end) I was pretty adamant that this would most probably not work in our home. In France…
