HOLIDAY OF SPRING
Spring has sprung in all its glory and we just can’t get enough of it. For us spring is the most festive time of year – as temperatures start to rise, the sun emerges from behind the clouds, and flowers bloom all around us – we come out of our winter cocoon and feel the excitement of life. Nature is now in a state of renewal, rejuvenation, and rebirth, and as always is a big source of inspiration for us.
Spring is also the time of Passover, a holiday that at its core celebrates the spring and the freedoms we have, and is a wonderful opportunity to spend time with our family and loved ones. In honor of the story of Passover, let us do what nature does and bring some new, fresh, and beautiful energy into our lives and homes. We invite you all to come visit join us in our springtime – Passover festivities!
SEASONAL NORDIC BLUEBERRY PIE
Scandinavian baking is based on fresh seasonal ingredients. So, reflecting on these values, there is nothing more Nordic than a blueberry pie in summer.
As a child growing up in Finland Saana remembers wandering around in the forest picking up blueberries for her small berry-picking basket, just about enough for her mother to bake a tasty blueberry pie – with the same recipe used by Saana’s grandmother. The aroma of the melted butter dough as the pie bakes, combined with the fresh blueberries she had just picked, evokes a blessed childhood memory .
The pastry, still warm from the oven, is one of her greatest temptations – till this day.
