The enchantment of Finnish nature. Feel the northern fell winds against the cheeks, hear the symphony of birds arising from a springtime grove, smell the tangy scent of a Lappish marshland. Picture yourself tucking into cep risotto in the wilderness, as the sun is about to dip below the horizon. Food in the Woods serves up 60 tasty, nourishing vegetarian recipes for any season, without forgetting about desserts and snacks.

The book will guide you into cooking in the great outdoors, equipment you will need and what to consider in different seasons. The recipes and information sections are suitable for beginners and expert hikers alike, the photography and personal stories offering plenty of inspiration for anyone.

Marja Wickman & Elina Cerell – Festive
(Festive mood, easy diy and delicious recipes)

Any excuse to get creative in the kitchen and gather our nearest and dearest around the table brings light in the middle of the dark. An alluring, shimmering elegance points the way to a winter wonderland. This is your chance to taste genuine seasonal delicacies!

For a pre-Christmas cocktail party, finesse slices of archipelago bread with piquant apple & whitefish tartar and vegetable carpaccio. Celebrate the New Year by decking the table with blinis. After a day in the snow on Shrove Tuesday, there’s nothing like tucking into classic salmon soup and cream-filled ‘semla’. Decorate the festive table with a wreath of evergreens and serve up some creamy artichoke soup, gin & beetroot cured salmon, a new take on Finnish ‘rosolli’ salad and parmesan & thyme broccoli. How about some velvety cardamom cake, mouth-watering gingerbread tiramisu or sea buckthorn cheesecake for dessert?
