Sideways Deli Cafe, Dulwich Hill



You seem them every weekend. Local cafes spilling over with couples, families and friends, escaping the confinement and drudgery of the house for a leisurely weekend breakast.

The click-click of the coffee machine, the smell of fresh espresso and the magical appearance of breakfast placed in front of you. This is the joy of breakfasting out.

Estonian Eurovision Party

Image
Yes. I've got a whopping three email requests during the last week from people across the world who have accepted a task to provide some Estonian food for the Eurovision party this weekend. Instead of writing individual responses to all three of them, I've decided to suggest some dishes in a blog post. So here's a selection of Estonian appetizers and fingerfood that would be easy to recreate elsewhere in the world, as well as couple of salads. Devilled eggs, Estonian style : Small ham rolls with garlicky cheese filling (finely grated cheese, crushed garlic, some mayonnaise to bind). You could cut them diagonally into half, if you wish: Pork liver paté canapés (form shop-bought pork paté into small balls and then roll them in grated cheese): Estonian soda bread : Oven-baked chips with caraway : Estonian oatcakes : You could always make a large bowl of potato salad (sorry, I haven't blogged about it, but it's not so different from what's known as "Russian ...

Celebrating a year of living in Estonia with a gourmet meal at Restaurant Stenhus, Tallinn

Image
Exactly one year ago today I moved back home to Estonia after seven eventful years in Scotland . I still remember arriving at the Tallinn airport shortly after midnight to discover four of my best girlfriends singing a children's song about home* in the middle of the arrivals hall, holding an enormous poster with 'Tere, kodu' (Welcome, home!) in their hands, with K. smiling amusedly on the background. I was utterly bemused, to say the least! On the very same day I also moved in with K, so today is the anniversary of my return to Estonia as well as moving in with him. I know that 'cohabitation anniversary' doesn't sound as grand as engagement anniversary or wedding anniversary, but it's been a beautiful and delicious year and we wanted to celebrate it in style. As K. is somewhere in the Netherlands on business today ( you see, dear Ximena, you're not the only one celebrating the actual annviersaries on her own ), then we celebrated the anniversary last Fr...

A Wild Mushroom Meatloaf Recipe for the National Meatloaf Appreciation Day

Image
The good people over at Serious Eats: A Food Blog & Community have declared coming Friday the National Meatloaf Appreciation Day . I take the 'national' here to mean 'US American', but assume that foodblogging is a borderless activity and they accept my humble Estonian submission, too. Here's a meatloaf I made few months ago. I wanted to blog about it in Spring, I did, as it was a really tasty meatloaf. However, I used some spring mushrooms that according to all Estonian, Finnish & Swedish mushroom experts classify as 'delicious eating mushrooms' (and I've got no reason to doubt the expertise of region's mushroom guidebooks), but by Northern American mushroom guides should be avoided at any cost*. I didn't want my Northern American readers to worry about me, so I didn't post about the meatloaf back then :) However, as you can use any other spring, summer or autumn mushrooms here (morels would be especially suitable because of their v...
