🎉🎊.food is moving forward !

Very happy to announce that my small business has a roof over its head.

What started from absolute 0 has over the past 12 months been growing to the point i was starting to feel really tired just working from home or kitchens all over Helsinki.

I felt something needs to progress because i couldn’t imagine doing exactly the same i had been the past winter.

This doesn’t mean that my nomadic cooking will come to an end , just that behind this brick wall i will have a space work & to cook in. Most importantly store some stuff 😅 so maybe my apartment feels more like a home not a torn apart restaurant.

Another great aspect is there are some extraordinary females working with food under the same roof, that is inspiring & also might ease the feeling of struggling alone around work. As when you are self-employed you don’t have coworkers but you still need peer support.

This space opens all kinds of new possibilities. Like hosting cooking workshops, supper clubs & dinners, catering & also offering services to businesses & private individuals.

So pikku joulu season here i come 🤣

This week is extra busy so i hope after this i can take some time to figure out my offerings & officially announce them.

Until then if you have a birthday, company party or anything else where you would want to include eating my food or why not a cooking workshop & then eating with your company don’t hesitate to contact me so we can build your experience together.

I’m extremely grateful & happy i was crazy enough to take a leap of faith to start doing what i really love.
I don’t know if it’s manifestation, some luck, all the super hard work i’ve been putting into this or all of those, but 🥹 it’s beautiful.

Also all the pain & hardships i’ve been through feel like part of the path not something weighing me down anymore.

Thanks for all your support & 🥂to new adventures ❤️‍🔥

I dedicate the song on this post to anyone else who needs to hear it’s message💪

Food, art, music & great people last Friday

It wasn’t as sunny as expected but that didn’t matter.

It’s always a pleasure doing stuff in Laajasalo there’s a special community vibe there that speaks to me.

Hot take: not the snobbish, wanna-be-cool-but-don’t-even-open-their-mouth-to-reply-to-you type (won’t name names of areas in Helsinki—sorry not sorry 😅)

That being said, there are so many places to explore in Helsinki in the summer, it really does turn into a different place.

Still owe you some photos from the first meze night at Brita.

Big thanks to everyone involved & all you who showed up!

❤️‍🔥🫛 Varoitus: näihin jää koukkuun!

Tässä mun kesän yllättävin hitti. Viime perjantain tapahtumassa Laajasalon näistä tuli niin paljon kehuja ja myi loppuun.

Herneet syöty suoraa palkoista, suomalainen lempikesäherkku sai upgradin!

Savuinen, suolainen, vähän tulinen: näitä ei voi syödä vain yhtä.
Herneet vähän niin kuin höyrystyy palkon sisällä ja vapauttaa niiden makeuden vielä enemmän. Ihana pikku meze/snäkki vaikka kylmän valkoviinin kanssa kesäiltana.

On aina kiva keksiä resepti, jossa voi yhdistää kahden maani makuja, se on enemmän minä kuin yksittäisen maan jutut. Suomen kreikkalainen, se oon minä!

💚🔥Grillattujen herneiden resepti:
Heitä kuumaan grilliin iso kourallinen herneitä, kunnes ne hiillostuu vähän ja väri muuttuu kirkkaan vihreäksi. Dressaa hyvällä kreikkalaisella neitsytoliiviöljyllä, lisää kreetalaista merisuolaa ja boukovo-chiliä mausteeksi.

Sormet sinne ja nauti. Paras tapa on nuolla makuja palkojen päältä ja imeä herneet ulos niin saa kaikki maut suuhun.

Toki voit käyttää mitä tahansa hyviä aineksia, joita sulla on helposti saatavilla.

Mä vaan tykkään lisätä pieniä m***a tärkeitä toucheja mun ruokiin käyttämällä raaka-aineita, jotka on huippua, maistuu Kreikalta ja kertoo mun sekä ruoan tarinaa.

🌶️ Esim. boukovo on chili-hiutaleet, joita käytetään Pohjois-Kreikassa, joihin tutustuin asuessani siellä Thessalonikissa m***a vuotta. Sama varmaan meze-kulttuuri tarttui sieltä enemmän minuun. Kreetalta Thessalonikiin on suuria eroja ruoassa ja maustamisessa.

Ja jos ei löydy grilliä, älä huoli! Voit tehdä saman herneille tosi kuumalla, kuivalla pannulla.

⁉️Ootko koskaan kokeillut grillattuja herneitä?
Laita tää talteen, testaa ja tagaa mut, jos innostut haluun nähdä sun version!

How summer started & how it’s going.

Passing from fear of what am I going to do about my living situation ,since I had no extra money for that,no down payment, and kind of an unstable income at the moment. Who would even offer me an apartment in that situation?

Besides the money part, I felt that my capability to work was going to be very negatively affected. So i had to believe i will find a way out of the place i was that was not serving me.

That felt so scary, because everything now depends solely on my ability to work, be healthy & push myself to do things. If you don’t, you’re pretty much destroyed, as dramatic as that sounds, that’s the reality of working for yourself, running a business.

While the process was quick, it was energy-consuming and got me off track with many plans I had.

But soon I was on the other side to time spent outdoors with friends, customers, grilling, swimming & iced coffees near the new peaceful home.

Forgetting the distress I was feeling during May ever happened.

Point is: we can do hard things we think we can’t. Even the ones that freeze us in fear, take our sleep, or make us feel utterly alone. But we come out the other side stronger & with more confidence in ourselves.

Also if you haven’t noticed, I’m on a mission to make granny bags cool 😎😜
