A few weeks ago, I was in Finland for the Helsinki Book Fair, where the Finnish version of Everyday Happy Herbivore was released.
(One of the bloggers, Satu, also wrote about our meeting and my demo on her blog, kamomillankonditoria (it's in English and Finnish!)
We had raw porridge (made from buckwheat) with various toppings. I had to try them all, so I swirled in the avocado-strawberry, the date paste, and the cashew cream. It was delicious. They also served up fresh fruit and these cute baby veggie sandwiches. I could have gobbled up three or four of those.
On Saturday and Sunday, I was interviewed by the star of the Finnish version of MTV3's You Are What You Eat (who happens to be a vegetarian!).
On Saturday, I also did a live food demo at the fair. I made the Minestrone Soup from Everyday Happy Herbivore , and it was a hit! I think it helped that my translator (a chef) was a hunk! We ran out of samples but everyone loved my soup!
