It’s been way too long since I’ve blogged about anything. I’ve been quite busy, but things are a lot less hectic now, and I can focus on important things, like making pickles and baking bread. I had always thought caraway as a spice to use with rye sourdough bread, but this bread demonstrated me how [...]

I purchased organic dried cherries and macadamias on a whim from the bulk bin of the local organic store, and only at the cashier did I realize how costly they were. I had tried to skimp as much as I could and only take enough for one baking project, and even as I resorted to [...]
Happy new year everyone! We are back from the holidays, and it feels great to be baking and cooking and blogging from our little kitchen again.
Focaccia is one of my favorite homemade breads, mainly because I lack the patience of a true bread maker and it’s so simple! I used to always make it with [...]

I enjoy experimenting with different sweeteners, and lately I’ve used a lot of whole cane sugar in baking. It has the most flavor of the options I have tried so far, but I am still waiting for the perfect moment to crack open that jar of black treacle! There is a definite liquorice undertone in [...]
We usually don’t eat sweet things in the morning, but we did have these muffins for breakfast with a little vegan margarine and they were wonderful. They’re not too sweet, and there’s a nice gentle ginger flavor hiding in the background. Our cherries came from a jar, since fresh ones aren’t yet available around here, [...]

This recipe is a variation on my recipe for Olive Tomato Bread, I just made a few alterations to the ingredients. I love this bread – it’s very satisfying and packed with flavor. Spelt flour and walnuts gave the bread a very nice texture, and I developed a topping that really makes sunflower seeds stick [...]
I occasionally get serious apple cravings, but because of my allergies, I can’t have raw apples. That’s when I have to start baking, and these muffins definitely satisfied my apple tooth: they are both filled and topped with yummy apple cubes. Walnuts, cinnamon, and a hint of ginger added a wintery spiciness to these soft [...]

We buy organic spelt flour form a local farm, and I’ve been experimenting with it lately, adding it to all kinds of baked goods. Spelt flour has a lot of flavor and a great texture, and I think it should be much more widely used than it currently is. I used only spelt four in [...]
These muffins are filled with jam made of raspberries and blueberries, a combination known as the Queen’s jam in Finland, although we don’t have a queen. We do have a female president, but as conservative as it may seem, I don’t think that President’s muffins sound nearly as appetizing as Queen’s muffins do. These are [...]

This was a Christmas gift recipe we developed to give out as presents. We wanted to make a cookie mix of our own, but also wanted to make sure that the receiver of the gift would have no need to add any non-vegan items in the recipe. We also wanted to be able to pack [...]

I haven’t baked bread for a long while, and I’ve never baked a two-colored bread. After baking, the colors weren’t as bright as I had hoped they would be, but the bread was tasty. Grated beets would maybe result in a brighter purple color, and spinach is probably greener than arugula.
This amount of dough makes [...]

This is a nice warming cake I baked on Saturday, when it started snowing for the first time this winter.
The batter is sort of bread-like, I have never baked anything with both yeast and baking powder before. The inspiration came from the Pflaumenkuchen recipe at Vegalicious. My plums weren’t completely ripe, so I decided to [...]
I received a bowl of lingonberries from a friend yesterday, and decided to bake a batch of muffins with our evening tea. Heikki had been working the whole day, and really needed a break.
This was my first time experimenting with organic spelt flour from a local farmer, and the muffins turned out [...]
