Creamy Pepper Sauce for the Steak, the way that my Father used to make it!

I have grown up in the backroom of a restaurant. My earliest memories are; the smells of the food being cooked around me, the noice of kitchen machines, the laughter of the people. Yes, my father is a Chef. Big, burly and loud! Man equipped with big a heart, and extremely sharp tongue! He’s also…

Finnish Shrovetide buns – Laskiaispulla

Finns love their pulla.Pulla is a sweet brioche type of bread baked with wheat flour. In Finland, pulla dough always has cardamon, at least in all recipes that I use, and that’s the difference with Swedish Semla. This type of coffee bread is common in all Nordic countries in different forms. You can make korvapuusti…

Cashew Chicken (with Zoodels)

Asian foods,in all forms are one of my favourite things to cook. They are tasty,helthy and fast to cook, at least if you have done little preparations beforehand you start to cook. My intention was to serve this with zoodels,those curly noodels from zucchini, but due to me being idiot, I forgot to buy Zucchini….

Finnish Spinach Soup and Feta Börek – Pinaattikeitto

Spinach soup is one of my favorite soups. It is served in Finnish schools as lunch, usually with meat-filled pies and hard-boiled eggs. I have lots of vegetarian friends, and they ask me for recipes.

Pannukakku – Finnish Oven Pancake

Winter has finally arrived in Austria! There is lots of snow and freezing temperatures. Kiddo and his best friend have been outside from early morning until late evening playing in the snow. Great! I have been enjoying the silence inside the house, and at least our Kiddo has been dead tired in the evenings. Something…

Authenthic Finnish Karelian Pie – Karjalanpiirakka

Karelian Pies..I tried to make this recipe as simple as possible to do because making of Karelian pies is a challenge by itself already but very much worth of it!

Zucchini and Chicken Alfredo bake

I love to cook casseroles. They are great when you have family like mine that we hardly have time to eat together during the week. Hubby works long days and me and Kiddo eat always earlier than him. Normal pasta foods go kind of soggy after you have cooked them but casseroles.. Well in my…
