Wild Garlic soup
Wild garlic season is here again! I went to the forest today and managed to pick a bag of it before it started to rain. After I got home I started to look for my soup recipe and OMG!!! I just noticed that I haven’t ever written my Ramson soup recipe officially here. What a…
Cardamom and Rhubarb Cookies
Oh, how I have been waiting for spring to come! Winter was so long this year (two months or so 😀 ) Lots have happened during the winter time, and that’s why I have been bit quiet on my food blogging,no inspiratin honestly. But I will try to be bit more active again. I found…
Finnish Rye bread
Is there anything more Finnish, than sourdough rye bread? Â I do not think so. There is a lot of writings, about rye bread. In my opinion, real one comes from Finland, where I come from. Finns are particularly crazy about 100% rye bread: it contains coarse rye flour, salt and water, starter and sometimes some…

Lemon and Poppy Seed Strawberry Shortbread cakes, with Licor 43 Whipped Cream
When I was in the USA as exchange student ages ago, I fell in love with Strawberry Shortcake. There was a great restaurant in Springfield MO, where to my family went always for Sunday lunch. They served this wonderful pie which was so crispy but filled with this ooey-gooey strawberry mixture and topped with whipped…
Tomahawk Steak
I have a hubby who’s carnivore with capitol C! So today was his day when it comes to food. I went shopping to Mekur Market near Wels and they had aged Tomakawk cut steaks. For some reason it is very hard to find dry aged meat in Austria. Austrians are not yet familiar with what…
