Blueberry Kissel

Kissel is a delightful no-bake dessert, best described as a cross between a berry “soup” and jelly. It’s light & refreshing, and very quick to make, which makes it a perfect weeknight’s dessert you can prep while your dinner is cooking! Blueberry Kissel (Mustikkakiisseli) also makes a lovely accompaniment to porridge, yogurt, pancakes and overnight oats.

Sima ‑ Finnish May Day Drink

Sima is a refreshing soft drink that’s traditionally enjoyed during May Day celebrations in Finland. It tastes slightly lemony, but is also quite sweet and fruity with a hint of fizziness. Sima is made by fermentation and since the process of making it is similar to mead, sometimes it’s translated as ‘Finnish mead’. This recipe is super easy to make but allow up to a week for the fermentation process!

Tomato Chutney

This Tomato Chutney is a pure explosion of flavours – it’s sweet, spicy and tangy! It’s a beautiful accompaniment to my mini breakfast frittatas, but can also be paired with curries, sandwiches and of course with crackers and cheese. It is definitely worth making your own chutney, as it beats any shop-bought version hands down! Besides, it keeps well in the fridge for weeks.
