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….

Spinach Waffles and Salmon Mousse
Sometimes you need a fast and fun food to eat. I like waffles because they are fun and fast to make And Kiddo loves them. My only issue has been that normal Waffels are so heavy and full of not so good things. So I decided to make a new recipe and give. Change for…
Grilled Cilantro-Lime marinated Whitefish and Thai style Cucumber-Mango Salad
I love grilling the fish. This time my trusted fish dealer from Vöcklabruck had Whitefish. Oh boy..First time in all these 14 years that I have lived in Austria when I saw it. And of course I bought it.! We love to eat spicy foods. I guess it is something which stuck with us when…

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…

Wood Garlic risotto with shrimps (and other shenanigans)
It has been one of those days when WTF?? has been my first thought.. This being one of them. I am used to all kind of disturbances, but it always makes me wonder a bit, when I hear :” Booot-bo-boot-koot-ko-koo”, behind my kitchen window, because I do not have chicken! I do not have anything…
Gnocchi with Wood Garlic Pesto and Parmesan Crusted Salmon
