Happy Valentine’s Day! And to help celebrate you can find my cakes at @heypokehelsinki @citycenter_helsinki today, tomorrow and Sunday as part of their Valentine’s celebrations. Coconut-lime, chocolate beetroot or banana with cream cheese frosting, which is your favourite?

New blog post - coconut lime cake (kookos-limekakku). This cake is super easy to make, but tastes great. Click the link in my bio or visit www.abritinhelsinki.com for the recipe

New blog post - Coconut kefir (kookoskefir). Join the fermentation movement and try my easy overnight kefir, which has been shown to have a positive impact on digestive and gut health. It uses @livingnutritionsupplements vegan fermented living culture (available @pur_kauppa In stores or online) which come in capsule form, which I opened and mixed with coconut milk to create a delicious creamy kefir. I served mine with some fresh fruit and my buckwheat and quinoa brittle (recipe also on my blog). Which combines @clearspringuk quick cook organic buckwheat and rice malt syrup to give it a beautiful crunch and almost butterscotch flavour. I have not been paid for this post but I was gifted the living nutrition living culture by @pur_kauppa and brittle ingredients by @clearspringuk

New blog post - Coronation chickpea sandwich (‘coronation’ kikhernevoileipä). My vegan version of the British classic coronation chicken - curried mayo with raisins, toasted almonds and fresh mango. Originally designed for Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation in 1953, so if it is good enough for royalty, it is good enough for me! Click the link in my bio or visit my blog for the recipe

New blog post - Chocolate mint ice cream cake (minttu-suklaajäätelökakku) layers of rich chocolate cake @3kaveria mint chocolate icecream and topped with chocolate cream and crushed @fazersuomi marianne. Click the link in my bio or visit my blog for the recipe

Sometimes the best things come out of a little mistake! I roasted way too much red pepper for my red pepper hummus, but only realised when it was too late. But it turned into a super tasty red pepper dip! Let me know if you are interested and I can add the recipe in the comments

New blog post - vegan Baked Alaska (jäätelökakku!) Bringing back the retro classic of cold creamy ice cream on top a slice of sponge cake and finished with caramelised meringue. Who knew aquafaba and a blow torch could make something so good. I used my favourite @3kaveria chocolate caramel nut ice cream and it was so good.

New blog post - Jeera Aloo (cumin potatoes). This is my version of the Indian classic. Cheap, simple and quick to make, I like to serve mine with naan, Indian pickles and coconut yoghurt. Great as a main meal or part of an Indian feast! Head over to my blog for the recipe

New blog post - Pumpkin seed protein cake with sweet miso frosting! (Kurpitsansiemenproteiinikakku ja ‘sweetmiso’kuorrutus). This sweet/ salty cake has a rich unique flavour. @clearspring organic pumpkin seed powder is packed full of plant protein and their organic coconut cream keeps the cake moist and delicious. I added @clearspringuk sweet miso to create a salted frosting which finishes the cake off perfectly. I have not been paid for this post, I just love @clearspringuk products 😊

New blog post - Raw beetroot ravioli with pea and wasabi filling (raaka punajuuriravioli (here-wasabi täytteellä)) Thinly sliced raw beetroot filled with @oatly cream ‘cheese’, sweet peas and @clearspringuk organic wasabi powder. Perfect for a last minute Christmas/ new year starter or addition to the buffet table. Click the link in my bio or visit my blog for the recipe

New blog post - gingerbread porridge (piparkakku-puuro), with a fiery hit of ginger and sweetened with dates. Here topped with mini gingerbread stars, cranberries, crystallised ginger, pecans and a drizzle of @clearspringuk organic rice malt syrup. I love to use @myllarin organi gluten free oats!

New blog post - harissa roasted butternut squash with sun-dried tomato and walnut dressing (harissalla maustettu paahdettu myskikurpitsa ja aurinkokuivattu tomaatti-saksanpähkinäkastike) click the link@in my bio or visit my blog for the recipe
