Behind the blog
I am Cecilia; I create the content for scandicuisine.
I am also the creator of the Finnish food wiki, ruokawiki.fi. I thought it would be nice to share some Scandinavian recipes in English also. This is how this Scandinavian kitchen blog started.
You get a peek at my kitchen and get to taste my family's recipe library, although that is mainly in my head :).
I got my interest in cooking from my mum. I sat endless hours by the kitchen counter cooking with her. And in my plays, I was boiling grass soup or decorating sand cakes with flowers.
We spent a lot of time in the Finnish forests harvesting before the long winter. Picking berries, mushrooms, and leaves. These became pickles, jellies, juices, and dried things.
I live in Finland with my Swedish husband and our dog Nelli. She is eager to help out tasting the recipes and knows the word köttbulle, meatball since she only understands Swedish.
I am not a professional chef, just a passionate home cook who understands the importance of simplicity in food. I teach you regular Scandinavian home cooking with everyday kitchen appliances.
I am also passionate about reading food history and nutrition. I have taken many nutrition courses and included nutrition content in the recipes.
So what do we eat at home? We eat mainly plant-based. Meat is sometimes prepared when we get guests. This is why I also include many vegan and vegetarian recipes and tips on making traditional Scandinavian cuisine a bit healthier. Better for the planet to eat more veggies, especially local ones.
Our favorite recipes:
- Swedish cabbage salad. Cabbage stores for long, is packed with fiber, low calorie and so healthy.
- Finnish macaroni casserole. This is a favorite in our house, It has a tendency to disappear from the fridge in a day after making it. My husband eats it like for breakfast lunch and dinner-gone...I do it though as a vegetarian version with textured soy protein and soy milk.
- Scandinavian pancakes. What would weekend be without pancakes. We eat these as vegan, simple with just strawberry jam.
- Swedish vegan "shrimp" salad. This is absolutely crazy good, love it, love it, love it! On savory pancakes, white bread, archipelago bread, on oven potatoes or sweet potatoes.
