  • Pete’s organic pizza’s
    16 September 2019, by Eva Wissenz

    Take a cool guy (must be a great cook though).
    Add a converted vintage horse trailer.
    Name it "Raffaele" – the trailer, not the cook.
    Use as much as local and organic ingredients.
    Heat up to 456° degrees.
    And you have... Pete and his amazing pizza’s!
    Pete created 456 degrees in Tampere. His story is amazing and his pizza’s are so yummy!! Track Pete and Raffaele and make sure this amazing idea spreads everywhere...

  • Special foodies - Fujimi ravintola - Tampere amazing restaurants series (2)
    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 (…)

  • Pizza perjantai
    15 October 2021, by Eva Wissenz

    It’s time for pizza and early birds get a nice discount 🙂 Check 456 Degrees FB page on regular basis.
    If you’re new to Tampere, Peter’s shiny trailer is often in Tahmela, at the market place and his pizzas are delicious.
    He’s using :
    ✔️ Homemade organic dough from Finnish flour
    ✔️ Organic Italian tomato sauce
    ✔️ Italian Fi Di Latte mozzarella
    Give it a try and get to know Peter, very nice guy.

    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.
    You see, with food just like with people, my thing is authenticity. Street food. Organic food. Real kebab. Real fat Pyynikki doughnut. Never try to impress. Be real. Be authentic. (…)

  • Fista’s canteen is boosting vegetarian options
    11 September 2019, by Eva Wissenz

    The Finnish International School of Tampere’s canteen is now boosting vegetarian meals and that’s great!
    This school located in Amuri "has been chosen for a pilot where vegetarian food is offered as a second lunch option to all students every day. Students can choose which food to eat each day, or they can choose both" said the principal Ulla Hiltunen.
    It is now well know that an excessive consomption of meat isn’t that good for our health and, with the massive industrialisation of (…)

  • A bit more organic food?
    8 February 2020, by Eva Wissenz

    You are very welcome to join Tampiiri ry!! This association exists since 20 years and counts 150 members. Its first mission is to make organic food accessible to students but since a few years it is open to all.
    Through Tampiiri, it has been possible to order organic local food monthly or twice a month. We hope that with more dynamic members, we could go back to that!
    But the association is also well known for the seedlings sale, the workshops and others exciting events. Join us for a (…)

  • Meet the Good Guys in Tampere

    I’m sure you have noticed that Kombucha beverages are very trendy... why that?
    Kombucha is a bacteria that has been used for thousands of years in all Asia and Russia. It is known for supporting good gut health, which is our "second brain". It’s mixed with flavoured teas or water to create very tasty beverages.
    The Good Guys is a Tampere based brewery focused on a organic, raw, and unpasteurized kombucha. And more than this, they have a strong community spirit and inspire you guys to (…)

  • 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.
    I have found here a good definition. It "consists of a community of individuals who pledge support to a farm operation so that the farmland becomes—either legally or spiritually—the community’s farm, with the growers (…)
