In a nutshell, Peckish Pickle is about delicious food! Whether you’re after a recipe for a midweek’s dinner, scrumptious cake or sneaky snack, I should have it covered (if not just yet bear with me, I have LOADS of recipes to share)! I’ll be posting new content regularly, so if you like my website and recipes, remember to hit that subscribe button to receive an email every time a new post is added 🙃
About me:
Hello, my name is Tiia! I absolutely love cooking (and eating) and whether it’s experimenting something new, cooking an old classic or trying to perfect a cake, I tend to spend most of my spare time in the kitchen. I get my inspiration mainly by skimming through recipes online, but also from cook books, cooking shows and eating out. I rarely follow a new recipe as it is, I often end up building my own creations by combining different recipes, adding something to it, replacing an ingredient or leaving something out – think I’ve gained pretty good understanding of what works and what doesn’t!
I’ve lived in England since 2011, but I’m originally from Finland. It’s unlikely you would have heard of Finnish cuisine, as Finnish cuisine doesn’t really exist outside of Finland. HOWEVER, I do believe we Finns got some delicious food and it’s a shame only a tiny nation of 5.5 million people, plus my partner, get to enjoy it. Thus, Peckish Pickle will feature some of those how-the-hell-to-pronounce-why-so-many-double-letters dishes in English, and I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
Hopefully you enjoy reading, but more importantly cooking, trying new recipes and eating. Writing this blog is my long-term dream so please leave me feedback, ask questions and let me know how the recipes turned out for you! All recipes have a comment form on the bottom of the post and you can also rate each recipe! xx Tiia
A wee bit about Peckish Pickle:
Even though I do love cooking, I’m also familiar with the feeling that sometimes you just cannot think of anything to make and keep rotating the same old dishes. Internet is my main source of ideas and inspiration, but as exciting as it is to discover new foods and ideas, it’s also overwhelming how much is out there. Even if you do find a delicious sounding recipe new recipe, your search has taken so long that by the time you have managed to make sense of the recipe (if you even get that far), you’re just too hungry and decide to leave it for the next time (plus you didn’t even have all the ingredients anyway). Soooo I’m hoping Peckish Pickle gets you hooked and it becomes your go-to website for recipes!
Besides the obvious of sharing recipes with you, Peckish Pickle is all about simplicity! Whenever I try a new recipe myself, I first break down the recipe and write it into my own words. I like to keep my instructions simple, so hopefully this is a transferrable skill I can use in Peckish Pickle and provide recipes that are clearly written and easy to follow! I’m not saying all my recipes are necessarily easy to make, but I believe instructions can have a huge impact on the cooking experience and success rate 💪🏼 🙂 Furthermore, unlike many recipes online, the preparation time on my recipes should be fairly accurate and give you a real idea how long it takes to make the dish!
PS. Go check out my ‘ingredient info’ page, there’s some key information regarding my recipes! Also make sure to read the ‘notes’ section on the bottom of each recipe before getting started!
