Life has had quite hectic twists and turns lately. Sometimes I wonder how it is even possible for me as one human being to cope with all these projects I have managed to gather in my life. But in some weird way person kind of multiplies herself, expands time or makes other magic tricks when stuff just needs to be done. And there is no time to sit around when a revolution awaits! A food revolution, you know, in which I try to take part with my work.
A part of my revolution dream has now become reality as my very first cookbook about healthy sweet treats, that came out in Finland some time ago has now been released in the US and it goes by the name It’s a Pleasure. I’m so happy about the outcome – the book looks and feels super pretty and nice and I hope it can help to transform globally the way people feel about sweets with it’s over 80 recipes for cakes, candies, cookies, muffins, ice creams, chocolates and other sweet treats – all without guten, dairy and refined sugar. Because there is just no better way to indulge than to savor with treats that left you feeling light, healthy and satisfied!
Try for example these overwhelming pralines. I have prepared big batches of them lately and people have LOVED them. And no wonder. The best pralines combine many elements: a soft filling, a texture that snaps nicely and something crunchy. Also, a hint of saltiness is a big plus. These chocolates are all of the above and can be created with very simple and wholesome ingredients.
Please, just try them! And if you wish to have a copy of It’s a Pleasure, throw me a message here below before Oct 10th and I’ll pick two winners to whom I’ll post the book next week – in Finnish or in English, you choose!
Until then – Viva la revolucion!

NUT CARAMEL CHOCOLATES
Makes 15-20 pieces
Caramels:
- 15 fresh dates
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1-2 tbsp water
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- a pinch of sea salt
- 15-20 pecans
- 4-5 tbsp unsweetened peanut butter or almond butter
Icing:
- 4 ounces unsweetened dark or raw chocolate, or ½ cup Basic Chocolate from the It’s a Pleasure book.
On top:
- flaky sea salt
Pit the dates. Put the dates, coconut oil, water vanilla extract and salt into the blender and purée. Caramel should be thick and smooth. Spoon the caramel in a freezer-safe container and put it in the freezer for about 15 minutes so that it thickens a bit and is easier to handle.
Line a small baking sheet with a parchment paper. When the caramel sauce has thickened, take about teaspoon-sized dollops of the caramel and place onto the prepared baking sheet and mold the caramel into balls. Press a pecan into each ball. And then add about half a teaspoon of peanut butter on each pecan nut and place the tray into a freezer. Freeze for about 30 minutes.
In the meantime melt the chocolate on the top of a double boiler / in warm water bath. Take the pralines out of the freezer and dip each of them into the chocolate icing. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and return them to the freezer just to set. Bring out, serve and indluge. Keep in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
Recipe from the book IT’S A PLEASURE by Virpi Mikkonen
Tags: Book, Dream, fall, Food, News, Sweet, winter
One year ago I dreamed about a cookbook that would save our family meals.
My dream book would have recipes that would take less than 30 minutes to make, preferably only 15 minutes, ingredients lists should be nice and short, they would not include gluten, dairy or refined-sugars and most of the recipes should be vegan. The book should offer wholesome recipes for breakfasts, dinners, lunches, snacks and for sweet treats. Kid-friendly recipes would be a big plus and also if the book could also offer better alternatives for pizzas and burgers, my man’s favorite meals. All in all, the recipes in the book should be healthy, super easy and super delicious.
Too sad there wasn’t any book like that on the market. I went through a big bunch of cookbooks and waited for a hero that would fly into my arms and save those moments where the stomach is empty and the mind goes blank at the same time. There were nice recipes here and there but a book that would fulfil ALL my needs just didn’t seem to exist.
So, I had to make it myself. And I did.
Two weeks from here my next cookbook about healthy fast food is going to be released in Finland. The Finnish name is Kiitos hyvää Pikaruokaa, and I’m proud to say that the book offers EXACTLY everything I just described above!
I am so thrilled and I can’t wait to get it in my hands – For one since I actually cook the recipes from the book everyday, and I can’t remember all my recipes in detail, and I don’t wanna go on searching for them from my computer all the time, so I really need to get the book in my kitchen and in my hands – ASAP!
Gonna let you know more about the book later, but I’m sure you guys are going to appreciate it as well. Who would not love healthy and tasty fast food!
But now, to today’s meal! This vegan meatballs and pasta recipe is not actually from my upcoming cookbook, because I created it after the book had already gone to print, but it makes an excellent and simple everyday meal also. I’m just loving this easy pasta made from sweet potato and the rich taste and great texture of these vegetarian meatballs! If you ask me it's quite an excellent mimic of the Italian classic meal, with a healthy and fun twist.
V
VEGAN MEATBALLS AND SWEET POTATO PASTA
Vegan meatballs:
( 8-10 pieces)
- ½ heaping cup sun-dried tomatoes
- ½ cup sunflower seeds
- ½ cup chickpeas
- 5 tbsp flax meal (or flax seeds)
- 1 small onion
- 1 tbsp Tamarin soya
- black pepper
- a pinch sea salt
For frying:
- 5 tbsp olive oil or coconut oil
Sweet potato pasta:
- 1 big sweet potato
- 2 cup marinara tomato sauce
On top:
- vegan parmesan cheese (recipe in Kiitos hyvää Pikaruokaa cookbook!) or original organic parmesan cheese
- fresh basil
Preheat the oven to 400 Fahrenheit/200 Celsius degrees. Measure sun-dried tomatoes into blender and blend until quite smooth. Add rest of the ingredients and blend. Pour the dough into a bowl and form small balls with your hands. If the dough feels too wet add a little bit of coconut flour or other flour. Pour generously oil onto a pan and fry the meatballs for about 5 minutes, until they get a nice brown color. Transfer the meatballs onto a baking tray covered with parchment paper. Bake for about 15 minutes. In the meantime prepare the sweet potato noodles.
Peel the sweet potato and prepare noodles with a spiral slicer or julienne peeler. Add 1 tbsp oil onto a pan and cook the nools for one minute. Add the marinara sauce and cook for about 10 minutes.
Take the meatballs out of the oven. Dose some noodles on plates, add meatballs on top. Grate some vegan cheese or parmesan cheese on top and sprinkle on some fresh basil leaves. Serve and enjoy!

Hello darlings, it’s been a while! Actually over a month since my last post. …Oops. I could say that I have been working like crazy and have been doing this and that and the third, which would be very much true, but as my mother always says: only a lazy person counts her work. So let’s trust her and forget explanations and concentrate on the present, and on the most essential – the goodies I brought you!
I have been doing some collaboration with Oatlet Store, which is a brilliant webshop that deals oat-based products. And as a big fan of all oat related I have been super excited to test their gluten-free oat products from Provena and to design new recipes with them.
One of my absolutely favorite thing that came out of my laboratory is this pre-christmas sweet potato oat porridge. It is just insanely tasty, comforting and rich! And it includes my favorite ingredients at the moment: Sweet potato, cinnamon, cardamom, pecan nuts and – jumbo-sized oat flakes. Oh-my-god – TOTALLY different thing than those small oat flakes, that taste like a cardboard, especially after you’ve tasted jumbo ones. So delicious, and you get beautifully textured hearty porridge out of them.
I’m planning to make this sweet potato oat porridge my family’s official christmas porridge that will be consumed every morning until christmas. Well, at least on the weekends. And maybe only in December. I would rather like this to give nice taste memories to my kid than to cause any food traumas. It is too good to be overdosed. …Although I have a tiny hunch I’m gonna do it personally anyways.
But hey, with this pre-christmas porrdige I have also a pre-christmas gift for you: With the code VANELJA you get -20 % discount when shopping in Oatlet Store and the discount is available for two weeks from now. Oatlet Store ships throughout the EU. And if you want a tip, I can recommend at least, surprise surprise, these Provena Gluten Free Jumbo Oats and also Provena Gluten Free Whole Grain Oat Flour for baking.
Have a lovely November, stay warm and eat a lot of porridge!

It was exactly one year ago when I opened the doors of Vanelja and introduced it to the world for the first time. And in my very first blog post I then wrote:
“Nothing in Vanelja is permanent, no goals has been set. That makes it possible to grow to whatever direction life takes it to. It is exciting to see what kind of flowers will Vanelja bloom in when the fertilizers are freedom, passion and pleasure!”
And wow, what beautiful blossoms have I been able to witness during this first year! I have been just amazed by all the opportunities, connections and people life has sent through my blog.
During this year I have made great new friends from different parts of the world, I have also made 3 cook books (insane, I know! do not try at home), been featured in international media, websites and blogs, been picked by Instagram to their suggested users list, been nominated in the Saveur Food blog Award and actually winning the award in the Best-designed blog category. And then there are also some huge huge things I can’t yet talk about that have started to seed during this year.
So may I just say: Phew. And thank You. Thank you life, thank you dear You, thank you universe. I promise to continue following my dreams. And as Elsie De Wolfe said:
“I am going to make everything around me beautiful – that will be my life.”
And I’m also going to make lots of these delicious banoffee-muffins, which you should try also. They too taste like a dream.

One of the most traditional ways to celebrate something here in Finland is to make coffee and serve cinnamon buns. That old school serving suits all types of parties and in every occasion.
A baby is born – coffee and cinnamon buns, you win a lottery – coffee and cinnamon buns, someone dies – coffee and cinnamon buns, your blog is nominated in The Blog Awards Finland in the Health and Wellness category – coffee and cinn.. Wait, no. Actually then it’s not coffee nor cinnamon buns, but healthy cinnamon bun”ish” waffles! The exception proves the rule.
So here I am with my not-so-traditional but yet so-very-delicious cinnamon bun waffles as it indeed happened that my blog got nominated in the Blog Awards Finland in the Health and Wellness category. Yay!
The nomination in that specific category made me took a stroll down memory lane and look back to where I started, which was five years ago in my former Finnish health blog called Kiitos hyvää.
Kiitos hyvää was a blog mainly about well-being and “high quality life”. In that time I was very deeply into all kind of nutrition stuff, different methods of measuring health and gaining better health, raw food, superfood, super this and super that. I was truly and totally a health nerd. All that super health hype feels kind of funny to me nowadays, but it was an adventure I had to take in order to get here, into more peaceful and calmer place.
It is very relaxing when you realise that the purpose of your life is to serve only in a way that brings great joy to yourself and others. Not to battle and strive. That is the reason I nowadays post only easygoing inspiration and nice recipes and not try to convince anyone of what is the best diet or how should others live their lives. I don’t have clue, only a delicate and occasionally fading hunch on how to live my own.
But that’s how life, health and wellness are, delicate and constantly changing things that escape exact definitions and are not bound to one truth.
My truth today is happiness and gratitude for being nominated in the biggest Blog Award in my country. And from that happiness I channel these cinnamon bun waffles to you!
Thank you for being there, friend.

Hello lover, I just dropped by to tell you that in case you were wondering what to make for lunch this week or prepare quickly in the evening, here is the recipe you have been looking for! It is especially designed for these late summer days when the sun is still nicely warming our noses but you can already feel that the chill of fall is on it’s way.
The recipe is super simple, it’s quick to prepare, takes less than 15 minutes and the ingredient list is nicely minimalistic. So it has exactly those features that an excellent everyday food should always have. And it of course tastes heavenly.
It is a spinach soup with a twist. The soup is made of ripe, juicy pears and fresh spinach leaves accompanied with coconut milk and a nice bunch of fresh herbs, coriander and parsley.
I’m loving how it is creamy and smooth, fresh and earthy, all at the same time. I couldn’t wish for better elements from my power soup.
I hope you’ll find it is a perfect match for your late August days too!

Virpi, sinä ihana herkkujumalatar!rnrnKirjasi on lähtenyt kyllä jo lahjapaketeissa rakkaisiin koteihin, mutta oma kappale on edelleen hankkimatta. Ensisijaisesti suomenkielinen ilahduttaisi minua. Love
Virpi you are such an inspiration to me! I am allergic to wheat, dairy, and eggs, and I feared I would never again be able to enjoy desserts. However, after discovering your blog and purchasing your N'ice Cream book, I have become a huge fan of yours and I have enjoyed making, and eating, your recipes - especially your healthy treats. Thank you for your beautiful blog and all you do to spice up our lives! Much love from America!
My baby is turning 1 on October 10th, which is Thanksgiving Day in Canada. He's having white bread with homemade apple butter and coconut whip on top; but I'll make these for the adults. Then, we'll all be able to give thanks.

rnThank you for all you do to inspire those of us to are conscious of our health, but want to enjoy life's simple pleasures. You have totally inspired me to change my diet and it has changed my life! I love sharing with others how it is possible to enjoy sweets and treats, but avoid refined sugar and other common allergens. Simply put, it'd be a pleasure to receive this cookbook. :)
Löysin sivusi juuri äsken vanhan lehtijutun perusteella. Tietyllä tapaa terveellisen ja puhtaan ruuan suosija olen ollut jo pitkään. Mutta nyt olen varma, että ruokakaapin sisältö menee uusiksi :) Suomeksi, kiitos!
Minulle! Olen pitkään seurannut blogiasi, mutta kirjan ostoa en ole siltikään kerinnyt tehdä. Olen kiinnostunut leivonnasta ilman sokeria, joten reseptit olisivat tarpeen. Enkku-versio kyllä kiinnostaisi kovasti! Kielitaitoahan ei koskaann voi kehittää liikaa!
Kuulostaapa herkulliselta!!! rnKirjasta saisi varmasti uutta intoa kokkailuun
Ostin alkusyksystä Kiitos hyvää pikaruokaa -kirjasi ja siitä innostuneena tarkoituksena on ollut hankkia myös Kiitos hyvää -kirjasi. Siispä osallistun suomenkielisen kirjan arvontaan. Tavoitteena olisi päästä irti epäterveellisistä herkuista, yksi keino siihen ovat nämä kirjasi ja niiden ihanat reseptit :)
Oi, olisipa ihanaa saada kirja!
Ihania konvehteja! Maistuisivat tässä opiskelun ohessa..Suomenkielisen kirjan haluaisin kovasti!
Kirjasi hankinta on ollut mielessä jo pitkään. Varsinkin kun teini-ikäiset poikani ovat erittäin kiinnostuneita omasta ruokavaliostaan ja ovat olleet kuukausia sokerittomalla ruokavaliolla. Testasin sivuiltasi omenapiirakkaa ja banaanipehmistä. Alas meni niin, että humina vain kävi
ever since i discovered you webpage i have been using it very often, especially your 3 ingredient chocolate cake which i use as base filled with the cream of the moment. thank you for the inspiration. i am hoping for some inspiration i can touch in form of a book :-). however i am very grateful that you are, so keep inventing beautifully healthy recipes.
Would love to get a chance to explore your recipes!!
Me, please! Both my mum and boyfriend are well into taking part in the food revolution (along with myself) and I would love to share the delicacies of the book with them, and many others. I have the world's biggest sweet tooth myself, and since life should not be about deprivaiton, I want to learn to make better choices also when it comes to sweet treats.
What a pleasure it is being kind to animals. Thank you Virpi for showing us the way.
Kirja on ollut ahkerasti lainassa kirjastosta, joten toivottavasti saisin oman suomenkielisen kappaleen, jotta muutkin kirjaston asiakkaat pääsevät nauttimaan ihanista herkuista!
Vielä ei kirjaasi hyllystäni löydykään ja uudistettu painoshan olisi mitä mahtavin lahja. Kielenä menisi kumpi vain.
Suomeksi olisi aivan ihana tämä kirja saada <3
Kirjan toivoisin suomenkielellä <3
these look amazing!
Yes, I would love to have this. Then I have the whole collection! (which of course is expanding book by book, I presume ;))
Löysin kirjasi vasta aika äskettäin, ja olen jo nyt täysin reseptiesi lumoissa. Kirjan saaminen olisi täydellinen synttärilahja, täytynee vihjaista lähipiirille, jos ei arpaonni osu kohdalle. :)
Oih, olen haaveillut tästä kirjastasi jo pitkään, se toinen löytyykin jo hyllystä. Olisipa arpaonnea!
It would definitely be a pleasure to have your book on my inspiration shelf :)
Näitä pitää testata kyllä mahdollisimman pian! Ja mielelläni saisi kirjasi suomenkielisenä. Olen sen jo äidilleni ostanut lahjaksi, mutta kyllä itsellekin yksi kappale kelpaisisi :)
Hei Virpi! Sain juuri siskoltani Kiitos hyvää -kirjan syntymäpäivälahjaksi. Totesin vain että hänpä tuntee minut liian hyvin - lahja osui kuin nyrkki silmään. Olisipa hienoa jatkaa tällä kirjalla kokeiluja :) Namnam ja kiitos jo aiemmista hyvistä!
Kiitos ihanasta blogistasi ja herkullisista resepteistä! Suomenkielistä kirjaa toivon sormet ristissä.
Suomeksi. :)
Hep! Toiveena ihana kirja suomeksi, kiitos.
These look delicious (I love the photo)! Congrats on your book being out in the US- very exciting!
Jo pidempään erinomaisia reseptejäsi seuranneena/tehneenä haluaisin kirjan suomeksi.
Minulle! Ja suomeksi. Kiitos hyvää ja Kiitos hyvää pikaruokaa ovat lainassa kirjastosta tällä hetkellä, mutta olisi kiva saada ikioma kappale :)
Ahhh olisipa ihanaa saada kirjasi! Innolla haluaisin kokeilla uusia ohjeitasi ja tunnelmoida tulevaa joulua! Piristäisi opiskelijatytön elämää!:)

Amazing blog - truly warms my heart to see someone doing what they love and creating the most beautiful food! Your dedication and (very!) hard work shines through and recreating that make me so incredibly happy :) All the best with your cookbook; as far as i'm concerned, all of your recipes are already winners. My (somewhat skeptical) family adored these. Thanking you very much <3
Hei! Kiitos paljosta inspiraatiosta. Nyt etsin sivuiltasia kasvonaamiota, kun heräsin tänään niin varhain, että päätin alottaa päivän hemmottelulla. Olispa ihana kun arpaonni suosisi!
It's my birthday today, and I made these delicious candies as a special treat for me and my family.rnI would love to win your beautiful book as a present!rn
Kirjasi on loistava. Olen jo muutamia reseptejä kokeillut. Olisi mahtavaa saada oma kirja. Nyt lainassa kirjastosta. Suomenkielinen kirja olisi haaveena.
Kiitos ohjeesta!rnToivon voittavani kirjasi suomenkielisenä.
Näyttää niiin hyviltä, ettei lähes kerrotuksi saa! Kuinkahan kävisi koko kirjan kanssa...
Kelpaisi <3
Näyttävät ihanilta nämä <3 Kirjasi olisi parasta syksyyn!
I have been waiting (not so patiently) for the release of this cookbook! What an awesome idea! All of your fans are so blessed by your creativity and kitchen genius. Thank you for all you do to inspire and encourage us! Much love!
Oooooo! Olen yrittänyt jo tässä yli vuoden vihjailla täällä kotona, että tämä kirja olisi loistava syntymäpäivä- tai joululahja, mutta näköjään vihjailuni ei ole vielä tuottanut tulosta. Joten kirja suomeksi, olisipa ihana juttu! :)
Olen ohjeitasi ja kauniita kuvia katsonut usein nettisivuillasi, mutta kirja vielä puuttuu hyllystä. Suomenkielinen teos olisi mahtava voittaa!
No ehdottomasti olis kirjalle käyttöä, enkuksi! :-)
Alkuperäispainoksen ostinkin herkkusuu-siskolleni, joka on kokannut kirjasta ties mitä ihanuuksia lähipiirinsä onneksi :). Omasta kirjahyllystä tämä kaunotar toistaiseksi puuttuu, mutta kaipaillut häntä olen jo kyllä Kiitos Hyvää Pikaruokaa -kirjani kaveriksi! Nyt odotan siis peukut ja varpaat pystyssä osuisiko arpaonni minuun! :)
Haluaisin ehdottomasti voittaa suomenkielisen kirjasi. Olen iso fanisi :)
I wouldn't mind getting this lovely book of yours
I would love to have your book and will most definetly try out these heavenly chocolates! Thank you.
I already have the wonderful Nice Cream book, and the new one would be a wonderful addition! What I love most about your recipes is that I have most of the ingredients already at home, because I try to eat mostly plant-based...healthy indulgence is possible, let´s spread the word!
Suomenkielisen kirjan uudet reseptit olisi ihana saada! Vanhat reseptit ovatkin jo tiuhassa käytössä!
Englanniksi olisikin kiva! Täällä Espanjassa on ystäviä, kenella haluaisin sitten kirjaa esitellä :-)
Onnea Virpi
Suomeksi, kyllä kiitoskiitoskiitos!
Oh! Menee heti tänään kokeiluun nää! Ja tuo kirja, sitäkin olen himotellut pitkään!
Suomenkielinen olisi ihana yllätys;)
I'd love to have your book! I'm usually conscious about sugar and try to use flour alternatives from time to time but I've been sceptic about not using those ingredients in sweets. You make gluten and sugar free look really yummy and feasible though so I'm looking forward to trying them out!
Oispa kyllä ihana ylläri, kummalla kielellä tahansa!
Suomeksi kun saisin tämän ihanan kirjan, oisin ikionnellinen!
Kaverini tarjosi muutama viikko sitten juuri noita kyseisiä karamellipähkinä suklaita ja rakastuin niihin täysin! Lueskelin samalla kyläily reissulla ihan intoa piukeena kkirjaasi ja otin kuvat parista reseptistä,nyt olen kotona niitä kokeillut ja ovat olleet ihania, kiitos! Oma suomenkielinen kirja olisi siis aivan mahtavaa saada!
Haluaisin niin tämän kirjan, mutta ei opiskelijabudjetilla ole voinut ostaa
Oi minä haluan kirjasi! Toosi herkullisii ja sisältä kunnon tavaraa noi sun reseptit. Näitäki on kyllä pakko kokeilla. Nam! :)
Oh I would love to win your book, it would be a nice present for my upcoming birthday!
Minulle! Olen haaveillut kirjastasi jo pitkään. Mikäli nyt ei onni ole myöten, niin marssin kirjakauppaan. Ihania suklaita!
Me! I desperately need this book! I'm a huge sugarholic and I would love to find better alternatives to my cakes and cookies. Thank you!
Suomenkielinen kirja, kiitos
It sounds delicious Virpi!rnBig congratulations for your new book and keep up the good work!
I actually have most of the ingredients already to try these. These look decadent. I also think your photography is just beautiful!
Suomiversio olisi tosi jees!
Olisipa ihanaa voittaa kirjasi! Kielestä viis! :)
Kiiitos suloisista resepteistäsi ja mitä mahtavimmat onnittelut kirjan enkkuversiosta! Suomen kieliseen kirjaan koetan arpaonneani.
I love making sweets with healthy ingredients that the whole family can enjoy, so your book sounds just perfect!
Sun reseptit on niin mahtavia!
Lukisin mielelläni englanninkielistä kirjaa <3 Toki suomenkielinenkin olisi mieluinen!
Suomeksi,kiitos
Suomenkielinen mulle :)
Oh 'it's a pleasure' to see your work finally in English - I've been longing for it for a long time and following the blog for maybe 3-4 years now and i've loved so many of your recipes! I would LOVE to win a copy, i've been hesitating to buy it cos I'm still working my way through the treats in the n'ice cream book!
The sweetest pleasures in life are often the easiest to make, this recipe came to me just in time. Can't wait to try making them. Love the title of your book!
Oih, olisin erittäin onnellinen jos saisin suomenkielisen kirjasi syntymäpäivälahjakseni :)!
Oooh kyllä tahdon kirjan omaksi!!
Olisipa mahtavaa voittaa tuo kirja suomenkielisenä!
Suomenkielinen kirja olisi ihana saada
Aaa suomeksi! Vaikkei arvaonni suosiskaan niin pakko hommaa uudistettu versio viimeistään
Hei vautsi! Tämä resepti lähtee ehdottomasti ranking listoille ensi syksyn häitä varten (ja tietenkin tehdään useat ja useat kokeilut niitä ennen
Jostain syystä jäi loput viestistä ulos, mutta ihastuttavasta kirjasta englanninkielinen olisi se, jonka valitsisin!
It's a pleasure olisi ihana aikainen joululahja, jos onni ei suosi niin toivon, että joulupukki toisi.. Instagramisi on yksi ehdoton suosikkini ja oon sen ansiosta inspiroitunut sokerittomista herkuista. Suomenkielinen kirja olisi kätevämpi, jotta ei tarvitsisi muutella mittasuhteita.
Voi onneksi olkoon!!! Tämä oli ihanan piristävä uutinen; miten mahtavia juttuja sitä voikaan saavuttaa. Suomenkielinen versio on toivelistalla :)rnrnT. Varpu
Olisi ihan mahtavaa voittaa englanninkielinen kirja! Sen avulla voisin näin ulkosuomalaisena markkinoida tuttaville Belgiassa suurenmoisia herkkuja! :)
Mahtavasta! Onnea jenkkilän valloitukseen. Kiitos hyvää suomeksi kelpaisi kyllä ;)
Kirja kyllä kelpaisi (suomeksi). :)
Minä ostin kyseisen kirjan aikoinaan äidilleni, mutta opiskelian tie vei toiseen kaupunkiin ja kirja jäi sinne. Kovasti olen omaa tahtonut ja monesti netin kautta ohjeita metsästän- netti ei kuitenkaan aina ole mukana reissun päällä eikä kotona toimi, joten olisi aivan ihanaa saada myös oma englanninkielinen versio matkalaukkuilemaan kanssani :) Hyvillä ohjeilla myös vatsa toimii paremmin ja pääsee muuttamaan ajatuksia ruoasta ja siitä että herkut ja terveyskin voivat astella maistuvasti yhdessä kohti sulattamoaan :)
Kirjasi on joululahjalistalla (kyllä, on hyvä varhaisessa vaiheessa kirjata lahjatoiveet, että menee varmasti ajoissa perille ;)), mutta oishan se mahtista voittaa herkkuopus arvonnassa!
Sweet as !! I absolutely adore your wicked imagination and great creativity to create such delicious and yest healthy treats with simple, well chosen ingredients !
Onneksi olkoon kirjaprojekteista! Pikaruokakirja on ollut suureksi avuksi ja iloksi, ja herkut maistuisi koko perheelle, suomeksi kiitos! :)
Suomenkielinen mullee:))
Suomeksi, kiitos
