Learn how to bake a traditional Finnish blueberry rye pie, known as "savolainen mustikkakukko". Savolainen mustikkakukko has a protected geographical indication (PGI) granted by the EU. The workshop takes place in a 1700s log house in the Finnish countryside at Lake Saimaa with your me as your host, local grandmother Paula Okkola.
We'll make the dough, form the base, fill the pies with local blueberries and bake them together! This is small-group activity so I have time for everyone individually. The workshop space is a quiet, private place. Whilst baking, I'll tell you about the history and culture around Finland, lake Saimaa and my personal stories. We can discuss together about things t...

Itinerary
We start the workshop with a welcome drink in my home garden. The drink is non-alcoholic, local produce. If it rains, we'll have the drinks in my house at the workshop space. The workshop is held in a 1800s log cabin in my home. It is okay to film during the workshop. The room is a private, quiet space. You'll get an apron to keep your clothes clean and to set the mood for proper baking! As we begin the baking, we'll make the base dough together, fill the pies with local bilberries and cover the pies with more dough. I’ll instruct, advise and demonstrate. There are maximum 10 persons in the whole group so I have time to tutor everyone individually. As the mustikkakukkos are ready for the ove...
