Black Sesame Ice Cream
Black Sesame Ice Cream
4 ingredient black sesame ice cream
I spotted that the Muji restaurant in Helsinki is now serving black sesame ice cream and I knew I had to try it. If you haven’t tasted black sesame ice cream, you need to! It has a delicious nutty flavour that is simply delicious. Best of all, this recipe only has 4 ingredients and doesn’t require an ice cream machine.
On a side note, I am obsessed with…

Whipped Vegan Feta
Whipped vegan feta
I have been wanting to make a vegan version of whipped feta for a long time. When I was finally able to get my hands on Mö’s oat based feta, I had to test it. It is a great product, it crumbles well and has a delicious tangy flavour. Best of all it worked perfectly when whipped! Whipped feta and whipped ricotta having seem to be fashionable at the moment. I love how easy they…

Earl Grey Orange and White Chocolate Cake
Earl grey, orange, white chocolate cake
I am a huge fan of Benjamina Ebuehi, she has a great way of adding unusual flavours to her bakes. She often makes use of savoury ingredients like tahini and miso, and her latest book A good day to bake, also has chapters using interesting teas and herbs. This is my veganised version of her earl grey and white chocolate traybake. The cake is delicious,…

Parsnip Tosca Cake
Parsnip Tosca Cake
This is a recipe adapted from Tara Junker´s beautiful cook book Veggies, every day of the week. I Lovell this Tosca, there is something so delicious about the sticky toffee like almond topping. I actual used my Spiced Parsnip Cake recipe as the base for the cake. Parsnipadds a delicious, slightly floral flavour and helps keep the cake moist.

Parsnip and Celeriac Pasta Bake
Parsnip and Celeriac Pasta Bake
Parsnip and celeriac pasta bake
When it is minus eight outside, I crave comfort food. This is a recipe I have adapted from my favourite supermarket, Waitrose. I have added a few extra flavours and also used celeriac alongside parsnip. Celeriac is one of my favourite winter vegetables and works so well in this dish.
Parsnip and Celeriac Pasta Bake – serves 4
2 leeks, finely sliced

Pea and Spinach Risotto with Spring Herbs and Cooking Fraiche
Pea and Spinach Risotto with Spring Herbs and Cooking Fraiche
Spring is in the air and I am craving lighter fresher food. This Pea and Spinach risotto fits the bill perfectly. Risottos can be a little heavy and dense, however I used Planti Natural cooking fresh which has a delicious soft tang that complements the rich risotto perfectly. It elevates and lightens the dish, making it the ideal spring lunch or dinner. I love the vibrant green colour that…

4 Ingredient White Chocolate and Biscuit Cake

4 ingredient white chocolate and biscuit cake
4:n raaka-aineen valkosuklaa-keksikakku
Traditionally in the Uk Easter desserts revolve around simnel cake and hot cross buns. Whilst here in Finland, pasha and the dreaded mämmi are consumed in vast quantities. While hot cross buns will always hold a special place in my childhood, and I have grown to at least tolerate, if not occasionally enjoy,…

Mustapapu-tortillasalaatti, paprika chili fraiche ja paahdettu tomaattisalsa
It finally feels like winter is coming to an end and Spring is in the air. The days are getting longer, the snow melting and I am craving lighter, healthier food. This is a perfect Spring salad, fresh and crunchy, but still filling and satisfying. I baked the tortilla in the oven, rather…

Roasted Sweetcorn Chowder
Roasted Sweetcorn Chowder
Paahdettu maissichowder
While the cold weather continues, I thought I would share another soup recipe. There is noting better than coming in from the cold and warming up with a bowl of steaming soup and a chunk of homemade bread. This chowder is basically a full meal, it is so thick and filling. I like to roast my corn in the oven for extra flavour and a slight…

'Red Velvet' Beetroot Pancakes

‘Red velvet’ beetroot pancakes
‘Red Velvet’ punajuuriletut
Shrove Tuesday is once again upon us and, for the Brit inside me, this means only one thing – Pancakes! While you cannot beat the classic pancake served with a little sugar and a squeeze of lemon, I thought I would go all out this year and make these red velvet pancakes. I have tried to keep them fairly healthy, adding only a little…

Sticky Banana Upside-down Cake
Banaanikeikauskakku
Looking at my blog, anyone would think I live off a diet of cake, cake and more cake. However the main reason I post so many sweet recipes, is that I find baking therapeutic. There is something satisfying about the weighing of ingredients and their careful mixing together to create a delicious fluffy cake. This upside-down banana cake is simple…

Raw Shrove Buns (Laskiaispullat)
Raw Shrove Buns (laskiaispullat)
Raa’at laskiaispullat
While in the UK we are consuming our own body weight in pancakes, Finns mark Shrove Tuesday with delicious cardamom spiced buns filled with either jam/ almond paste and a generous helping of whipped cream. While the debate of which filling is better still rages on (my Swedish friends find the idea of jam filling outlandish), I decided to…

Sour Cream and Blood Orange Cake
Sour Cream and Blood Orange Cake
Hapankerma-veriappelsiinikakku
I couldn’t resist one more blood orange recipe before the oh so short season ends, so I present to you my latest offering! A sour cream and blood orange cake. I have been wanting to test Friendly Viking’s Sour Oat for a while now, (the oat based sour cream replacement using Finnish oats). I have to say I was positively surprised how well it worked in the…

Veriappelsiini-marenkitorttu
This is the second of two recipes that were requested in a recent instagram poll I posted. Blood orange season is upon us and, as one of my favourite fruits, I always try and find a new way to use them. This is my blood orange meringue pie. I was really pleased how the orange curd turned out, it was so delicious and just the right…
