Finnish Runeberg cakes in yellow muffin cases on a wooden board

Runeberg Tortes

Runeberg Tortes (Runebergin tortut) are lush little cakes that celebrate Finland’s national poet Johan Ludvig Runeberg’s (1804-1877) birthday on 5th February. The story has it that Runeberg’s wife Fredrika invented the recipe using the ingredients she had left in the pantry to satisfy her husband’s sweet cravings. Also according to the legend, Runeberg loved eating them for breakfast… I don’t know about the breakfast part, but they are damn delicious and instead of eating them only around his birthday, they should be baked all year round!

Mince & Rice Pie

Mince & Rice Pie (Lihapiirakka) is a true Finnish classic, a very retro dish that’s guaranteed to satisfy your savoury cravings. There are different types of traditional ‘meat pies’ in Finland, this recipe comes in a shape of a traybake with this super tasty homemade pastry. However, for a quick version you can use shop-bough pastry too. Mince & rice pie makes a lovely weekend treat for the whole family, but it’s also great party food as you can slice it into any size bites! And no, in case you are wondering it has absolutely nothing to with English mince pie!
