ABOUT JAANA

Born in Finland and living in Australia since I was 12, I carry a deep love for Finnish folklore, traditions, and the flavours that defined my childhood.

Through this blog, I share cherished family recipes handed down from my grandmother and great-grandparents, keeping alive the simple, authentic dishes of Finland’s past. Join me in exploring the comforting, timeless world of traditional Finnish cuisine, where each recipe offers a taste of Finland’s diverse regions and serves as a link to its rich heritage and culture.

“Kelle ei maistu, lähteköön pöydästä.”
“If someone doesn’t like it, they can leave the table.”
A good-humoured way of saying that traditional Finnish food may not be for everyone, but it’s deeply valued by those who appreciate it!
