Coconut Ice Cream with Raspberry

August 13, 2008 – 20:57

I’ve always thought that you need an ice cream maker if you want to have home made ice cream, so I was delighted that the ice cream Anni made turned out so good. The next step, of course, was to make ice cream of my own. I wanted to try coconut ice cream, since it [...]

Spicy Breaded Eggplant

July 26, 2008 – 09:05

There’s something irresistible about eggplant, and especially about fried eggplant. We both really liked the gentle spiciness of this breading mixture, and the texture of the dish was very pleasing - the soft eggplant flesh on the inside and the crispy crumbs on the outside.

We served these eggplants with brown rice and a simple [...]

Nettle Temptation

July 19, 2008 – 10:57

In May, when we gathered some goutweed, we also picked up a lot of nettles (Urtica dioica). Usually, we make pancakes or a sauce from nettles, but this time we wanted to do something different. A non-vegan version of this recipe by Vivi-Ann Sjögren was in the monthly Kuukausiliite supplement of the Finnish newspaper Helsingin [...]

Blueberry Lime Ice Cream with Matcha Powder

July 16, 2008 – 11:59

We are finally back from holidays - well rested and happy to be in our own kitchen again! This ice cream, which actually was my first homemade ice cream ever, is something I’ve had in mind for a few months now. We don’t have an ice cream maker, and without one the process requires a [...]

Goutweed Soup

May 21, 2008 – 20:27

This is just a simple recipe to remind us that not everything edible comes from a supermarket. The name of goutweed reveals a lot - it’s generally thought of as a weed that should be rooted up, not as a green leafy vegetable. The young sprouts can be eaten raw, in salads or on sandwiches, [...]

Pressure-Cooked Chipotle Black-Eyed Peas

January 16, 2008 – 11:10

This is something that we cooked for a quick dinner. Since we got a pressure cooker, we’ve started using much more dried pulses. It’s great not having to plan in advance, and just quickly cook up some beans when you feel like it. If you don’t have a pressure cooker, this isn’t as fast to [...]

Toor Dal with Carrot-Potato-Rutabaga Mash

December 12, 2007 – 20:11

This is something we quickly improvised for a comforting Sunday dinner. Toor dal is a new acquaintance, apparently one of the most popular split peas used in Indian cooking, although we didn’t use Indian spices for this. The sweetness of the root vegetables was balanced by raw red onions, and toor dal got some extra [...]
