Asparagus season started earlier in Austria and Germany this year than ever. We have been enjoying this lovely and noble vegetable since the beginning of April. People only eat asparagus with sauce, Hollandaise, or melted butter, but this wonderful vegetable can do so much more! I love making a quiche with asparagus or just baking…

Finnish Salmon and potato bake – Lohilaatikko
I am emptying my freezer, and I found a piece of salmon that I need to use away. Salmon bake or lohilaatikko, as we call this simple dish, is everyday food in Finland. Easy and fast to make. You can make it bake-ready already the previous day, and when you come home, just shove it…
Mac & Cheese
Spring means for me busy time outside. Cleaning the garden and planting the things. Cursing voles and moles, and the damage they have done in my garden during the winter time. This also means that I do not have time for fancy and time consuming cooking,so I tend to do lots of soups and casaroles….

Salmon flamed in grill,asparagus and arugula potato mash.
I am Finn and Finns love fish! At least I do. If I would have a choise that would be all that I would need to eat. Hubby and Kiddo are not agreeing with this. Kiddo is passionate fisherman while we are vacationing in Finland but that’s it. I guess one reason is that it…
