Weekly Menu #596 And The Book Of The Week

 


This week has been a whirlwind of stress, deadlines, and long hours, but now that it’s finally over, I’m turning to the comfort of good food to unwind. For this week’s Finland-inspired menu, I’m embracing the warmth of Nordic flavors with cozy dishes like creamy salmon soup (lohikeitto), hearty rye bread, and traditional Karelian pasties. Finnish cuisine is all about simplicity, fresh ingredients, and a touch of indulgence—exactly what I need after a hectic week. Whether you’re looking for a taste of Finland or just craving wholesome, satisfying meals, this menu has something for everyone!

To go along with this week’s Finland-inspired menu, I’m diving into Sunbringer by Hannah Kaner, a gripping fantasy that perfectly balances myth, power, and the weight of destiny. As the sequel to Godkiller, this book is packed with high-stakes adventure, divine conflicts, and morally complex characters, making it the ideal read for curling up with a warm bowl of lohikeitto on a cold evening. Just like Finnish cuisine, Sunbringer delivers a rich, immersive experience—one that lingers long after the final page. If you love gods, heroes, and a story that refuses to hold back, this one belongs on your TBR!

Lets get to this weeks menu. Enjoy!
