Love seeing people growing green manure in the cit Love seeing people growing green manure in the city! 

I’ve been admiring this little urban garden for a while now. I’ve seen a variety of vegetables growing there with great success and I wish more people were inspired to do something like that with their outdoor space. You can do so much even in a small garden!

There’s some good food to be had in Tallinn. The There’s some good food to be had in Tallinn.

 The corn ribs probably would be the highlight and I’m definitely making it in my own kitchen. It was juicy and smoky just like the actual ribs. The said corn was had @peetruut cafe with pleasant surroundings and other interesting sounding dishes on the menu. I also had a young cabbage wedge with Romesco sauce. The cabbage was surprisingly soft and flavoursome, without the overcooked brassica flavour. 
 
@pullabakery - a great escape on a quiet Old town street. I’m guessing they bake often, because their cinnamon buns were just out of the oven and out of this world, warm, and soft, and gooey. A total indulgence of senses.

The last photo is a sprat sandwich (at least we call it a sandwich where I come from). Tiny, oily fish nicely laid out on a thick piece of rye bread topped with dill. I didn’t have it, just was completely taken aback by this elegant setup in a fancy petrol station. Much respect. 

Oh, and I forgot to mention a little vegan cafe @VegB12 that provided us with much needed warm sustenance before our long car drive back to Kaunas. We had a bowl of vegetable soup which tasted 😋, good idea to add kimchi to enhance flavour.

I have always loved the idea of an abundance bowl. I have always loved the idea of an abundance bowl. And this one was inspired by a bowl I had in Chicago in an abundance bowl chain (!!!) called Sweetgreen. I loved it and promised to myself that I’ll try making it at home. So here it is. A “Shroomami”(mushroom+umami) inspired bowl. The key ingredient is the miso and ginger dressing 🤤p.s. recipe on my blog onesmallspoon.com

This is me sitting in my own space :) Another one This is me sitting in my own space :) Another one of my summer highlights - visiting a garden I once worked in, meeting people I worked with and seeing how the space has developed. A new greenhouse has been built, a pond area has some escape routes added for the wildlife, a living willow structure started and a new garden shed erected with my name on it :) The garden now has three different local schools using it for arts and nature activities which is all very heartwarming ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

,,Džiaugsmo koše’’ buvau pavaišinta renginyje apie vokiečių vienuolę, žiniuonę, kompozitorę, sveikos gyvensenos propaguotoją šventą Hildegardą, tikrą Renesasno žmogų iš viduramžių. Košė - rudeniška, šildanti ir maistinga, iš speltos grūdų, virtų obuolių, cinamono, medaus, druskos, sviesto, ir keletos man mažiau pažįstamų žolelių: vaistinio seiliaus, vaistinės alpinijos ir smiltyninio gysločio sėklų luobelių.

I got to try a bowl of this “joyous porridge” in an educational event about a German nun, herbalist and a composer Saint Hildergard. A true Renaissance person from the medieval times. The porridge was made of spelt groats, small pieces of stewed apples, cinnamon, almonds, honey, butter, and some herbs that I’ve never heard of before  matter: seeds of a type of plantain, alpinia officinarum ( which is similar to ginger) and anacyclus officinarum Hayne. A bowl of wholesomeness.
