There is no food without culture and no culture without food.
All the traditional recipes have a story to tell, and what better way to learn it... then doing it, and tasting it?
With this program you get to stay in a traditional red Finnish chalet, with panoramic views to the magnificent nature surrounding you. The boreal artic forest and the river bay of the Rokua UNESCO geopark will inspire you for the class.
In the comfort of your chalet, receive the visit of a local guide, that will teach you how to do the most traditional delicacies of Finnish culture while telling you how they became part of Finns daily life.
You will do the traditional "Thursdays soup", the most cherished salty pie in the country and a romantic decadent sweet cake, along with traditional drinks.
Throughout the experience, you will be listening to the stories of these recipes fully entangled with Finland's own history.
In the end, delight yourself with the food you have prepared.
Take with you the recipes plus a surprise item for you to do at home.
And of course, when you are back, don't forget to recite to your friends the Finnish poem you are taking with you.
What does a poem have to to with all of this?
Everything.
But you'll only know when you join us.
