I made these vegan doughnuts last year before my trip to New York! Can’t wait to get back there next March. You can find the recipe on my blog if you want to try them yourself

I should have been posting a new recipe today, but after a little too much celebrating yesterday that hasn’t happened 😅. So here is a throwback to a great Christmas side dish, roasted sesame carrots and parsnips. Super simple, but super tasty. Recipe on my blog

New blog post - Vegan mince pies (mince pies - englantilainen joululeivos). These classic English Christmas treats are filled with my homemade vegan mincemeat and perfect warm with vanilla spiced yoghurt. Click the link in my bio or visit my blog for the recipe

Throw back shot to my matcha, coconut and macadamia raw brownies. I some how think the red, green and white looks a little festive, so thinking of adding these to my Christmas buffet table. The recipe is fairly simple and uses @clearspringuk’s incredible matcha powder, @kikihealth coconut oil and @foodin coconut manna and macadamia nuts! Click the link in my bio for the recipe

New blog post - Easy apple crumble and custard layer pots (omenahyve ja vaniljakastike - helppo kerrosjälkiruoka). Making use of the last of this season’s apples with this quick and tasty dessert. Click the link in my bio or visit my blog for the recipe

New blog post - Homemade butternut squash gnocchi with pumpkin seed pesto and almond ‘parmesan’ (Myskikurpitsa-gnocchi, kurpitsansiemenpesto ja manteli ‘parmesaani’). Part two of my two part gnocchi/ pesto recipe. The whole dish is easy to make and is finished off with a few toasted pumpkin seeds and a final drizzle of @clearspringuk organic toasted pumpkin seed oil.

New blog post - Mocha praline cake (mokka-praliinikakku). My penultimate recipe using Lauttasaari based @rost.co’s amazing coffee. This time I added their Ryhti blend to a rich dark chocolate cake to enhance the chocolately flavour. The cake is topped with caramel ‘butter’ cream and finished with crunchy pecan praline. I served this at my brunch @heypokehelsinki last weekend and it seemed to go down well. Click the link in my bio or visit www.abritinhelsinki.com for the recipe and more info about @rost.co

New blog post - Indian spices scones (Intialaisittain maustetut skonssit) These little mouthfuls are spiced with garam masala, ginger and a little chilli. They are perfect served with coconut yoghurt and Indian chutneys and pickles. You can even make mini ones and serve them as a canapé! Click the link in my bio or visit my blog for all the info

I don’t know if it is the onset of winter and the darkness or just that I find baking relaxing, but I seem to have a backlog of cake recipes to post. This is a throwback to my chocolate ganache cake (recipe on my blog), but look out for my mocha praline cake recipe that I served at my pop up brunch last week!

New blog post - sweet miso roasted Brussel sprouts with almond ‘parmesan’ (paahdetut ‘sweet miso’ ruusukaalit ja manteli ‘parmesaani). Forget mushy boiled sprouts and try my umami packed roasted sprouts, using @clearspringuk sweet white miso and topped with some homemade ‘cheesey’ almond parmesan. You will never want to boil a sprout again! Click the link in my bio or visit abritinhelsinki.com for the recipe

New blog post - Spiced apple porridge (mausteinen omenapuuro). Perfect now the weather is getting colder and darker. Creamy, a little spicy and topped with a little crunchy granola. Click the link in my bio or visit my blog for the recipe

New blog post - Classic Victoria sponge cake (perinteinen englantilainen ‘victoria sponge’ kakku). A veganised version of an English classic. Moist vanilla sponge sandwiches with vegan butter cream and homemade jam. Click the link in my bio or visit my blog for the recipe
