Rieska is one of the traditional breads of Finland. These little breads are usually made from barley, but this time I used wheat flour. I also put some wild mushrooms in my rieska dough, because I love to walk in the forest and hunt wild mushrooms. My freezer is still full of them and the next autumn and heaps of new mushrooms are nearer than I want to admit in May.
Smetana is one of the sour cream products widely used in Central and Eastern Europe. It is similar to crème fraîche (28% fat), which is a good substitute for smetana, but take notice, that the lighter sour creams sold in t ..read more

Granny's Granola is less sweet and darker version of my favorite granola. No sugar, just 4 tbsp of honey and black plums instead of sweet and colorful dried fruits.
Also, this granola is supposed to be, not black and burned, but very dark. Be careful, check and stir the granola often 10 to 15 minutes before the end of the baking time. Granola can burn very easily.

Trios are my favorite picnic snacks because you don't have to butter them or put anything on top of the breads. I always think that we'll eat these with a salad, but it never goes that way. Someone is always digging in the food rucksack and Trios are eaten at once we stop and start open a blanket. It's impossible to resist these chewy and cheesy butter bombs!

During the winter months I like to cook lentil soup and it means Shoe Soles too. I don't remember how this tradition started, but I always bake this bread with the soup. This is not a Scandinavian recipe, more like a bread from India, but it's something we eat regularly. It's nice to eat it with hands and tear bits from the chewy bread.
