Midsummer and Nordic kitchen
Summer is officially here and in Scandinavia – and we are approaching to Scandinavian midsummer festivities, symbolizing the end of the dark long winter – and a celebration of light – long days, endless white nights and family and friend get-togethers outdoors with some delicious homemade food. Nordic cuisine is easy to make, healthy and sustainable. Beautiful meals to enjoy at your summer cabin table, on the beach, in the woods – or wherever you like to gather together with your loved ones. We listed here few of our favorite items for some nordic elegance.
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.
