Burnt chef

Welcome aboard.

Picture
Storytelling through food in the far North

I am fascinated by the food of Newfoundland, Finland, and Norway.
I was born in Finland, lived mostly in Newfoundland, and now live in Norway.

I'm a PhD student at NTNU. Sometime I take a scientific approach to cooking.
I'm a runner and a climber. Sometime I take an athletic approach to nutrition.
I am a home cook. Above all I cook because it's a fantastic waste of time.

This website is where I record food stories and recipes.
No one pays me to write this blog. I do it because I enjoy it.

I hope you enjoy it, too!
