Sometimes simplicity is all you need. Cranberry and sour cherry scone with homemade raspberry jam and @kaslink.aito oat whipping cream. Find the recipe for scones on my blog.

Healthy (ish) carrot cake pancakes using some of my fave @clearspringuk products and channeling my time making pancakes at Date and Kale. Super easy to make and super tasty. Recipe in comments. (Products were gifted)

Finally a new blog post - Rice pudding with roasted cardamom spiced plums! (Riisipuuro ja kardemummalla maustetut paahdetut luumut). I have had a month long holiday from Instagram and my blog, so apologies for the absence and lack of interaction. But now I am back and ready to share some of the recipes I have been working on.

On holiday at the moment, so here is a throw back to my classic vegan Victoria sponge cake. Vegan butter icing and homemade raspberry jam, sandwiched between light vanilla spiced sponge layers. Recipe on my blog

I will never be a pastry chef, but these nectarine gallettes were so good. Just a batch of vegan pastry, some slice nectarines and baked until golden. Perfect with a simple scoop of vanilla icecream

Summer is finally in full swing in Helsinki!! Did you know I designed a summer poke Buddha bowl, sold exclusively at @heypokehelsinki @citycenter_helsinki ? Madras roasted cauliflower, chickpeas and butter beans, a summery salad, lime, ginger and sesame dressing and a fresh avocado mango mayo. Not only is it vegan and gluten free but you can take it away too and enjoy it in the sun!

Simple summer pasta dish - creamy tomato sauce, fresh cherry tomatoes, basil and lots of my almond parmesan (parmesan recipe on my blog)

Summery new potato tray bake with a herby creme fraiche sauce. I combined fresh seasonal ingredients with @bertollioliveoil to create a simple healthy dish that can be enjoyed by the whole family. Bertolli olive oil Classico is the perfect high quality healthy oil to use when roasting. Not only is it good for your heart, but it has a delicious mild flavour which works perfectly here. I love using their range of oils made from high quality ingredients that help bring any dish to life.

If like me you have a freezer full of hand picked rhubarb, you might want to think about making my rhubarb meringue pie! Tangy rhubarb curd, topped with sweet caramelised aquafaba meringue - yum! Find the recipe on my blog

New blog post - Mango and cardamom kulfi (mango-kardemummakulfi). This delicious iced treats are popular all over South Asia. Unlike regulate ice cream the mixture isn’t whipped, resulting in a super creamy finish. I have been wanting to make these for ages but was trying to find a vegan alternative to condensed milk. Then I stumbled upon @naturescharm condensed coconut milk, so here is the results! Click the link in my bio for the recipe or visit my blog. In finland you can find nature’s charm condensed coconut @vegekauppa

New blog post - Raspberry chocolate chip ice cream. This is a super easy no churn ice cream that uses aquafaba to give it a super light finish. Click the link in my bio or visit my blog for the recipe and other summer ice cream ideas
