  • Community Supported Agriculture... what’s that?
    24 September 2019, by Eva Wissenz

    CSA means Community Supported Agriculture. As you know, a farmer’s harvest depends on the weather. Not only but mostly. And it has always been hard for farmers to anticipate the quality of harvest, and the amount of clients.CSA was created to mitigate the risks for farmers.

  • Special foodies - Kajo ravintola - Tampere amazing restaurants series (1)
    8 October 2021, by Eva Wissenz

    There is a place in Tampere that is much more than what it seems and it’s all about local and sustainable food.
    I thought it was one of those fancy places, you know, coldly elegant. I thought it was inspired by hype Helsinki’s vibe - with all respect. But hey, I’m exploring new stuff in my life. So I booked.

    20 October 2021, by Eva Wissenz

    Wonderful sushi and vegetarian options here! Because well, sometimes I wonder if Tampere is an annex of Japan. It’s still a medium size city but there are so many sushi places. Every 500m, bam, sushi. And almost all supermarkets have now a sushi bar. So, problem? Yeah, problem.
    These sushi are far, like VERY far from what fresh tasty sushi are supposed to be. They all taste the same more or less. The rice is like a little white brick that is doing what Finns seem to praise (with all (…)
