ABOUT THEEXPERIENCE

You are warmly welcome to join me, Emmi to experience Nordic cooking and delicacies in our warm Finnish home with a Nordic design classics in furniture, kitchenware and interior.

We will start by visiting local Food Market Hall in Helsinki city centre to pick up fresh seasonal ingredients. On our short metro trip, we could have a look at the famous architecture of Alvar Aalto on our way to my kitchen.

We will then prepare a seasonal lunch together in the comfort of my home. Fret not as I will guide from the start to the end! An introduction to Finnish culture and habits will be offered while cooking and through the dinner. As in every seasonal meal, we will use wild game meat (freshly hunted by my husband) and wild berries (picked up my grandmother).

So don't miss this opportunity to experience all things Finnish and enjoy the company of locals!

Emmi was just amazing. She invited us into her lovely home and we so enjoyed our time. The greatest part was to see the sauna, but of course the food was top notch and now we have recipes that we can use at home. Thank you so much Emmi.
