Meringue blossoms the “Pollock” way
On conquering my Everest, meeting a Princess & a Pollockian moment! This Sunday was filled with Birthday cakes, playing in a Tippee & a first meeting with our friends’ new Baby Girl. As usual on foggy days, I feel courageous, and decided to tackle one of my most irrational fear: Meringue to bring as an edible gift! These…
Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding for the Picky
To those who read my previous posts you know that I’m a picky eater, or “discerning gastronome” as I prefer to brand it. Which means that despite my adoration for all things food I rarely am among the first one to hop on the latest food trend, ingredient, or “healthier alternative discovery”. First because usually all the…
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. Anne on juuri sellainen henkilö. Älkää antako hänen tyylikkään sisääntulonsa hämätä. 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…
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…
Hungry in Copenhagen 1/3 – Food display
Whenever I visit a city… any city, I make a point to find their local markets & food stores. If there is an open market; I will be there comes rain or comes shine! I find that walking in a city’s market place or food stores tells a lot more nuanced story about the place, its people and the type…
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:…

Do NOT follow this recipe!
When my friend Manu asked me to post a soup recipe, I felt like there would be no way I could pick from the infinite variations that came to my mind. You see, If there was a Food Oscar, Soup would surely win the “Not a Recipe” category (Nominated in the category too: Salad, Sandwich & Quiche) – Am…
Delicious Quiches
As a rule of thumb, one should always have a few ready-made savory pies pastries in the freezer. Yes sure, it’s as nice to make your own, but by all mean, no one will ever know the difference so think twice because by the time they are defrosted, you can prepare the filling & get your oven to the…
Kalasatama, mon amour
In Helsinki there is a secret place. It’s a place where the sea surrounds you, the wind taste salty and the city’s luminescent heartbeat pulses with a decadent tranquility. Making Giant soap bubbles… just because I’m a city child, I’ve always been. I need the proof of life that comes from the movement and agitation of…
RuokkapiiWhat? Urban Farming under the Finnish “Sun”
I miss summer so much! Browsing through my pictures i keep going over the gorgeous vegetables that we got all summer long. Every second week, a big bunch of organic, locally grown vegetables, herbs would make their entrance in our home. It was our first year as members of the Herttoniemi Ruokkapiiri, and I’m so glad…
