This is just one of the many funny, quirky and witty Finnish words, that's why I've put together a list of 50 unique Finnish words and phrases, that you will love!

3 MOST popular Finnish savory dishes inside😋 (with recipes!)

Happy Sunday from Finland!

Do you get cravings for hearty, home-cooked meals in the winter? I definitely do!

Winters in Finland are long, and it's one of the reasons why the Finnish cuisine is full of delicious, hot and filling dishes.

I'd love to share the TOP 3 with you 🥰 If you haven't tried to make them yet, this is your sign!

If you ask a Finn to tell you a traditional Finnish dinner dish, I bet they will say this: Karelian stew aka Karjalanpaisti, in Finnish.

This is THE most famous Finnish meal. And it's soooo good on a cold winter day.

So, with great pleasure, I'm sharing our Karelian stew recipe directly from my granny's kitchen. It has its unique twist to it. 

Another iconic savory dish is Finnish-style Macaroni Casserole.

It's super easy to make and your whole family will love it! 

Every Finnish family usually has its own recipe, and here I'm sharing ours.

The last meal on this list is, of course, Finnish Salmon Soup aka everybody's favorite.

This meal can be served on any occasion and is perfect, if you have a busy schedule - you don't have to prepare anything in advance! 

Try this recipe yourself😋

Which one of the three is your favorite?
