On the way, it presents over sixty of the chef's favourite recipes that use the best of Finnish local ingredients including vegetarian, fish, meat and poultry dishes, cheeses and bread and desserts prepared from fruit and berries.
The chef Markus Maulavirta is also a well-known TV personality, the photographer Sebastian Nurmi is also an organic sheep farmer, and the writer of the book, Christer Lindgren, is IS also a long-standing specialist in cookery and gastronomy. Fine. Item #4086
