"Onni ei tule etsien, vaan eläen" is a Finnish proverb that translates as "happiness doesn't come from searching, it comes from living". I talk about it and 3 other wonderful Finnish proverbs in this week's edition of the newsletter.

I remember reading this in Best American Food Writing. It's a beautiful piece.

Finnish dallaspulla. In American terms, kind of a cross between a cinnamon roll and a cheese danish . The extra sugar on the right isn't traditional, but it's replacing some that I forgot to include at the rolling stage (and it fact it was unnecessary). [On-line class by @wilreidie.bsky.social ]

Can you believe it's that day again? Yes it's Finno-Swedish National Cinnamon Bun Day. To mark the occasion, not only am I taking my treasured cinnamon bun recipe from behind paywall, but I also added a short video to it demo-ing my shaping methods. Enjoy.

I want to introduce more people to the joys of a Finnish bun called Dallaspulla. It's like a cheesecake in bun form and totally delicious. I've worked hard to make my recipe perfect and I really hope some of you try it out.

My monthly veg series hits autumn and it shows off a dish I really love. Featuring:

Salt baking big veg

Panko breadcrumb turned up to 11 with dried mushrooms

One of my very favourite potato sides

Also, a few of my readers have booked classes as gifts for kids/teens since I launched them this summer and they have been some of my favourite classes so far. If you want to give a keen young cook a really unique gift then I'd love to help out!

Earlier this year I started offering my readers 1 to 1 online cooking classes, and judging by the feedback from students it may be one of the best things I've ever decided to do. If you're keen on learning something new in the kitchen, I'd love to hear from you. All details here...

This is the kind of veg heavy dish I would make for staff food in my full time restaurant cooking days. Now I'm more likely to be feeding it to my wife and kids. Vegetarian and delicious. Hope you like it. www.recoveringlinecook.com/p/things-to-...

Rylan makes a deeply profound observation that idiots landing at Heathrow having forgotten their passport back at the holiday hotel are indeed treated differently to asylum seekers.
