Jerusalem Artichokes are a beautiful seasonal root vegetable that have this earthy, sweet and nutty flavour – if you haven’t come across them before, you are missing out! My favourite method of using them is in a soup, I find Jerusalem Artichoke Soup absolutely divine: it’s creamy and comforting, yet not heavy. It tastes like something you’d get served in a fancy restaurant, there’s something “gourmet” about it. However do not worry, it’s actually very easy to make at home and you only need a handful of ingredients to prepare this bowlful of goodness!

Can you think of a better quick meal than a bowl of pasta? Me neither. In this 15-minute pasta the creamy avocado is paired with tangy lime, garlic, chilli, fresh herbs & nutty cheese and boy, it’s tasty! Funny story, this pasta became a huge hit in Finland back in 2012, so big that some stores even ran out of avocados and pecorino cheese as everyone wanted to know what the fuss was about… Well, it definitely wasn’t fuss over nothing as this Avocado Pasta is truly delicious! Honestly, you gotta try it!

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!
